Home Wrecker

You’re not welcomed here anymore You got no business here anymore You got no right to come in here anymore You don’t have to come here anymore. You leave for work Come back later just to leave An hour passes and you return Only to leave again Just coming back a few hours later. It’s almost like clockwork You work, you come home, you leave You lounge around on your ass Talking on the phone that’s practically glued To the wax pooling from your ears. Going off for hours without telling a soul Hiding secrets from your family Your feelings locked tight in a chained vault With no passcode to free the charred heart Just one tap will turn into a pile of ashes. You eat and sleep like a bear Don’t spare a moment with your family It’s all about you and only you You put yourself on the pillar Leaving your family at the bottom. Can’t help around the house Making your wife and children do all the work If chores was a measuring cup You got ½ cup while we got ten cups on ya What does that tell on the fairness of division of housework? You pretend to care about animals But you secretly despise them You pretend to take an interest in your kids’ hobbies But secretly you find them tedious and boring. You pretend everything’s fine It’s all honkey dorey In your twisted old timey world In reality, it's a living hell. Why did you ever start a family? Why did you stay together with mom If you only gonna make her miserable? Why did you even have us? You stole precious time from her You stole precious time from us You stole precious moments You stole what was precious Threw it in the trash, lit the match Watched it burn before your eyes. I’ve had enough of this bull! I’ve had enough of your attitude! I’ve had enough of your nature! I’ve had enough of you! You’re wrecked our lives! You’ve wrecked our hearts! You’ve wrecked our well-being! You’ve wrecked our home! You’ve wrecked everything! You’re nothing, but a moocher Your nothing, but a parasite Your nothing, but a poison Your nothing, but a pain in the ass! Your nothing, but a homewrecker Don’t care if our house sinks into the ground Just like how you’ve sunk our family You’ve severed sacred bonds That can never be fixed! You dug your grave You made your bed You made your choice Just as I’ve made my own. You maybe my father But I could never forgive you For the pain you inflicted on me But you wouldn’t care Because you wouldn’t have noticed The tears flowing down my face. I don’t see you as my father To my eyes your just a wrecker A life wrecker A heart wrecker A family wrecker A god damn home wrecker.
