A Family Man (Angel of Sadness)

A Family Man Lately I can see me providing for a family But it's all weary thoughts aside from the demands in me Why do this, why do that Seems daily I lie dying on a tear soaked mat Teachers wanna beg on me for childhood memories All I've had is abusive tendacies Hence forth and back to thee Yet still I can see a family man, a softer me The characteristics I offer to be No more jumping homes, it's not a foster plea The martial status of we, undo what they see Pictures of my most wanted misery burning A cast so rationalized in fear It's only here to see me turning As I satisfy my bitter aches with this funnel Such a long tunnel, an impossible journey Haunted thoughts of a family man, a softer me No time realm could alter we Back to stretch my muse A dried up vision, died confused Nearly bruised, alternatives misused If I should fall from this stairway Grab me and salvage yourself another day It's only fair play I could do a lot worse than a snare could say
