Father I wish that you could see what I've become
I've been singing "So long" when I wish that you would come
With me down to the park
But you hide in the darkest house on the road
And I feel so unwelcome
I could never go inside on my own
Why I've waited this long is beyond rational thought
See me for the man that I've become
There was propaganda plastered in the tunnels of decision
What was right doesn't ever seem to work
Will it ever seem to work
The rise of many always needed one to fall
Why do I speak in heated tongues
Has the fever I've become sickened everyone
I've gotta let it burn
Words travel through a sullen tunnel
Reaping war on a lone victim
It was only strategy, now a conundrum
Without a logical direction
Has the victim I've become
I've gotta let it go
One hundred thousand warm welcomes
Not a single rising sun, not one
I deserve the blackest of nights and a cold tundra
Why persist when I should succumb
To the victim I've become
I was only having a laugh
I've gotta let it burn
