Pariah

All of his demons
Are inching their way through
The cracks of the floor
They’re clawing at his bedsheets and morals
Just to drag him away
From an honest life
Oh!
Feet don’t fail him now
He’s running from his troubles and the promises he made
He chose a bottle and a cloud of smoke
In exchange for ghosts
I’ll have you know
God gave up on you
I’ll have you know
God gave up on you
I know that it was easier for you to walk away
In the dark of the night when no one could see your shame
But you can’t just turn your back
And pretend that you’ll erase the past
But it’s such a shame
A shame that you won’t see
All your mistakes that I’ve learned from
As the monster you made me
I hope when you look into out eyes
You realize we were better off without you
I’m more of a man than you could ever be
To this day that phone call still haunts me
Your can’t make amends after everything that you’ve put us through
I wish I could say I forgive you
For walking out on us
I wish I could tell you 'I Love You'
But that would make me a liar like you
But after making friends
With all the characters from our bedtime stories
You tried to buy my forgiveness
I never wanted the money
I wanted a father
I know that it was easier for you to walk away
In the dark of the night when no one could see your shame
But you can’t just turn your back
And pretend that you’ll erase the past
But it’s such a shame
A shame that you won’t see
All your mistakes that I’ve learned from
Good night, Dead Man
