Remember me?
A baby in your hands.
Did you love me in sickness
And in health?
Was your heart dragged through darkness
Were your arms at your sides
Did you crumple in the shadows
As I was ripped from your life?
Did you fall to the ground
And scream and beg
Did your mother even stop
Or turn her head?
With empty arms
And hollow heart
Did you pace around
A silent house?
Amidst the fury of your own disease
Did anyone ever take you from me?
Or did they try their best
To help you succeed?
It seems to me you've forgotten yourself.
The tears, the threats, the wine, the pills.
The destruction, the heartache, the void unfulfilled.
The burden I carried all those years for you,
I TOOK THE BLAME FOR YOU BEING ILL.
I was the child
Yet no-one took me
And now you, of all people,
Take my child from me!
Money can't buy the moral
Highground on which you stand
Build a fort on lies
And it will sure collapse.
It all depends
On what you believe
Good and evil both
Sit at your knees.
Were those tears really for you
Or for me?
