Dear dad
Dear dad
I'm not mad
That you drink yourself to death
See me, I used to drink myself, with meth
I'm a recovering addict and alcoholic
But It killed you so I went to the attic and put your picture in my wallet
We turned you to ash
That last hour with you I'll save
My heart has crashed
I can never put a flower on your grave
The rum took control
You would lose yourself for days
Down in a hole
Stuck inside the maze
I miss you like crazy
Lately it's been tearing up my soul
You can never again hold my baby
It's not fair you had to go
You made your choice
So in the bed of the dead you must lie
I heard your voice in my head
It said not to cry
When I reach the end
And we meet underneath the sun
I'll bring with me a little sip
Of your favorite rum
