Begin

Did you see my father here? I cannot find him anywhere I've been waiting for him to tell me no So I can kill him, then just go Away to find another one Again and again until it's done I've spent my life in search of him But time has made my light grow dim Did you see my mother here? I cannot find her anywhere Three times she came and sat awhile And comforted me with different smiles Away to find another one Again and again until it's done I've spent my life in search of her Alas, my heart does yearn no more I have no father, he never was He didn't act as a father does I have no mother, she was never there Never gave time to love and care I have no need to find them still They never existed, they never will What I have learned from looking back I can give to myself what I thought I lacked Away to find another one? No more, the search is finally done I find everything I need within And that's the way it's always been I get it now I've been set free There is no us There is only me Begin...
