Daddy Dearest from Z-Day by The Martyrs

Just today it hit me
Like the day my father left me
(Like the day you, father, left me…)
When he turned his back on all he knew
Forgot the man he pledged to be
He refused to acknowledge his Father in Heaven
He cut his losses
Counted us lost years
Turned his back on me
A lonely old man, still so free
(Was it worth it to be free?)

They called it suicide when it was so clearly murder
He taught me everything I know
Then became a deserter
A lie straight to my face
He lives up to the disgrace that always haunted him
Like his father before him

Was this the second face you wanted me to see?
Were these the lies that you want me to believe?
You cut us out, you didn’t think I would bleed
There’s no note left behind
This is you killing me

They called it suicide when it was so clearly murder
The final straw that broke me down
Was the thought that I might hurt her
That I’ll lie straight to your face
I’ll live up to the disgrace that always haunted me
Like my father before me
