|
He walks the stairs and stands at the door. |
|
Bottle in his right, |
|
Fist in his left clenched tight. |
|
He's already trampled over his wife. |
|
The beginning of his family's demise |
|
As he stares into his little girl's eyes, |
|
His little girl's green eyes. |
|
And to her surprise he actually came home tonight. |
|
But he's still not acting right. |
|
He knows better, but he's never experienced it. |
|
It's a night much like when he was young. |
|
Mama's on the floor again |
|
yelling "I love you"s at the man standing above her |
|
who can only respond with violence. |
|
He notices the similarities, and begins to scream off the balcony: |
|
"I will never be like you, I will always despise you. |
|
Betrayer, where is your head? |
|
Betrayer, where is your heart? |
|
Betrayer, I will never be like you. |
|
Betrayer, I will always despise you." |
|
x2 |
|
He's still outside screaming into the wind |
|
About his distaste for his former kin. |
|
His evil thoughts are pushing him to the edge |
|
And now he's flirting with that ledge. |
|
Those green eyes look at him from behind, |
|
She's begging him to change his mind. |
|
He shows his back to those that he loves, |
|
When he dives headfirst into the earth. |
|
He buries his head, hiding it from the world. |
|
Then screams his little girl. |
|
"I will always despise you. |
|
Betrayer, where is your head? |
|
Betrayer, where is your heart? |
|
Betrayer, I will never be like you. |
|
Betrayer, I will always despise you, |
|
I will always despise you." x2 |
