Daddy



"Daddy"

My bones are tired, Daddy
I don't get enough sleep,
I don't eat as good as I should, Daddy
What's that say about me?

Sometimes I sleep past noon, Daddy
Drink lots of black coffee
and I smoke like a chimney
Yes, I left
the refrigerator door half open, Daddy
What's that say about me?

Sometimes I want to rip out your throat, Daddy
For all those things
you said that were mean
Gonna make you just as vulnerable
as I was, Daddy
What's that say about me?

Sometimes I want to bash in your teeth, Daddy
Gonna use your tongue as a stamp
Gonna rip your heart out
the way you did mine, Daddy

Go ahead and psychoanalyze that
'Cause I'm your creation,
I'm your love, Daddy

Grew up to be and do
all those sick things you said I'd do
Well last night I saw
you sneak out your window with your white hood,
Daddy
What's that say about you?

I'm sloppy, what's that say about you?
I'm messy, what's that say about you?
My bones are tired, Daddy
