Heavy Rain

We were kids with no sense of direction

Our parents saw it in their own reflections

Fucked up and consumed by religion

They drank themselves into oblivion

Your father used to lie through his teeth

Consumed by his vices beyond belief

There were no signs of hope

The truth is we always begged for an overdose

I know it's too late and you're dead and gone

But I wish I could have exposed

What was so fucking wrong

I hope the guilt keeps them awake at night

I haven't felt the same since the day that you died

Nothing lasts but I thought you would

Looking back, you were misunderstood

But now, you're in the past

And there's nothing to say

You paid the price

And they looked the other way

Where I'm now is a place I can't stand

Too many questions unanswered

I'm a worthless man

It's done, it's done

I'm done, I'm done

I can't feel a thing anymore

I'm so fucking numb

Looking back, we were too young to understand

They always said it was just part of God's plan

That's such a poor excuse for what he did

He was a coward with a fist

And you were just a defenseless kid

I always play it different in my head

The ways it could have gone instead

I was always told to never say never

But now I know there's no such thing as forever
