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.
|
|
|
|
Betrayer, where is your head?
|
|
Betrayer, where is your heart?
|
|
Betrayer, I will never be like you.
|
|
Betrayer, I will always despise you."
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
I will always despise you."
