Spew those words
Venomous poison
Your toxic hate
Nevermind the man you helped create
Beat him down once again
If it makes you feel like a better man
Justified by your sickened mind
How can you be so blind
To the man he is inside
Someday you're going to push him to far
Come to realize he's been strengthened by all the scars
From the wounds you've inflicted in the past
In his youth only looking
For a little tenderness
As a man only looking
For an ounce of acceptance
You as a father
Only cold
Callous
Loveless
Someday you're going to need him there
When the hand of death is oh so near
You'll feel his icy hands around your neck
Someday you'll look back on this
A heart filled with so much regret
Looking up for a familiar face
Wanting to feel a warm embrace
And it's there you'll die alone
