hands of my father
it kinda hurts
to see me like this
coz all the life i held inside
was taken from my grip
and all the ways that you could fulfill the damned prophecy
you told me you saw your mother whenever you looked at me
-
and that’s why i have her name
-
.
-
(chorus)
at the hands of my father,
i do what father says
coz i am so afraid of escapades
that i didn’t know i had a hand in my own parades
-
and at the hands of my father
i stay by his side as he sharpens the blade to my eventual demise
as i watch when i fall to his nifty mind games
that brother never fell for
his ruthless tirade
-
.
-
and when the curtains fall
he says he’ll stand by my bed
holding me up before the climb
until all i’ve said is fully said
-
(chorus)
at the hands of my father,
i do what father says
coz i am so afraid of escapades
that i didn’t know i had a hand in my own parades
