Scars Don't Go Away

you can't stop me
no one can
i’m gonna be free
so shut up you old man
you couldn't ever be my father
fourteen years ago
you left me in the gutter
do you wanna know the truth
about how mama died
i saw it in her face
the real tears she cried
they say her story was somewhat of a
tragedy
yeah
but they don't know the half of it
no
not as much as me
without you to support us
we had almost no money
she became a prostitute
and then it was
goodbye integrity
back then i guess i didn't know
what truly to believe
mama said you went away
but never why nor where said she
i’m glad she didn't tell the truth
or i just might have died
then again
that's how she felt
when you had said you lied
did you know that you broke her heart
destroyed her sanity
left me wondering why
i was abandoned at age three
you were the one that killed her
not some crazy punk-ass freak
you were the one that shot her down
when she could barely speak
did you ever think twice before
squeezing the damn trigger
how her son would come back
to haunt your conscience later
i’m the one with the gun now
not you old friend
this time i've got you cornered
pistol's pointed at your head
i’m the one in control of my own
destiny
save your bills i don't need any of your
sympathy
for nothing can repay
what you stole away from me
i never had a childhood
that was happy and carefree
i became a rebel
that was shunned by society
and that’s the way the story goes
my entire life you see
it was a lie because of you
and now you cannot speak
though the gun is in my hand
suddenly i feel weak
i wanted to kill you at first
however it's not revenge that i must seek
old wounds will remain scars
it's true
and the dead cannot come back to life
no matter
what you do
you knew the truth
it did not come first from me
you knew it deep within your soul
what you should've done
when i was only three
