Bastard

Wake me
I must be fast asleep
I thought I heard you say that you were always there for me
Mother, can you hear this song I sing?
Every word dedicated to your apathy
Father, you were never fucking there for me
I've lived my life as a bastard child & 21 years deep
How could you leave me behind?
The blanket ripped from me
As far as I'm concerned I have no fucking family
No love, no family
I am the blackest sheep
It's never enough
Shit
So cross my face from every picture
Erase my name from every paper
Welcome to my lovely dark abode
Anything I can do to make you feel at home?
Take a seat let the candles fill the house with smoke
As I tell you a tale of how I'm all alone
Mother, can you hear this song I sing?
Every word dedicated to your apathy
Father, you were never fucking there for me
I've lived my life as a bastard child and 21 years deep
Fuck
Fuck you mother, fuck you father, never fucking cared to bother
Fuck you both
