As the months move on we hardly speak

Your hair turns to grey and that

Heart's growing tired and weak

I shoveled the dirt and made

A grave for you to sleep in

Because you're dead to me

So take your last breath

From the second I awoke to the earth

I was destined to grow without you and suffer

Selfish reckless and a fiend

You chose that b*****d over your family

How can we hope to pick up all

The pieces when you're destroying

The ground we stand on

Those drugs that you crave burned

Holes in your brain and paved

The path for the life you hate

God damn you for leaving

When we needed you

Hell bent on saving only

Yourself but that crippling defeat

And the cancer you breathe

It finally caught up to you

Now it's plain to see

I don't need you in the same old way

I don't need you to be here at all

A thousand miles away from home

But you wouldn't even f**king know

Mother tell me where you've been

I refuse to hear anymore

Of this deafening silence

Consider this bridge burned and

I'll consider you gone forever

You don't have the backbone to

Face the one's you left for your dead

You don't have the backbone

This is the last time

We'll speak so listen closely

How can we hope to pick up all

The pieces when you're destroying

The ground we stand on

Those drugs that you crave burned

Holes in your brain and paved

The path for the life you hate

God damn you for leaving

When we needed you

Hell bent on saving only

Yourself but that crippling defeat

And the cancer you breathe

It finally caught up to you

Now it's plain to see

I don't need you in the same old way

I don't need you to be here at all

I don't need you to be here at all

I tried to save you but you slipped away

I was once your son

Now you have no part in what I've become

Stranger you threw it all

Away for that lesser man

Now you must sleep in the bed you've made

No forgiveness for the things

You say or the choices that took you away

No fighting for a second chance the earth

Will turn and you'll be dead
