Lyrics
25 Years
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I vent my frustration at you old man
After years your ears will hear
You screamed you tried
It's words of a weakling
And promises made by a liar
(Fucking liar)
Now you pick up that splintered chair
That was aiming for your head
A head that should have been long ago
Kicked in by me, alone
(I won't lose a second of sleep for this)
Don't touch me
Don't touch me
Don't touch me
No, never again!
Don't touch me
Don't touch me
Don't touch me
Orphaned to the dope and drinks
I learned my lesson well somehow from you
No tears can't clutch my regrets
But these years of detachment
Have left me with demons now surfacing
(I'm becoming more than you'll be)
You never knew the answers to
Any of my questions, did you?
You made up all the answers to
My unimportant existence
(You don't have to dump me off)
Not again!
Don't touch me
Don't touch me
Don't touch me
Fuck no! Ever again!
Don't touch me
Don't touch me
Don't touch me
Fuck no! Never again!
Don't touch me
Don't touch me
Don't touch me
I vow, lest I die tomorrow!
You'll never be the father I am
The bastard father to the thousands
Of the ugly, criticized, unwanted.
The ones with fathers just like you
We're fucking you back!
Fucking you back!
I'm shoving my life right down your throat.
Can I
Find the guts? Can I feel the heart?
Look at the ground as you choke me up
Does it taste like tequila?
Or failure?
We're fucking you back!
