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.
