Pyrophoria - Daddy Lyrics

My daddy left when I was born
I never learned how to mourn
He was a ghost I could've sworn
A sheet never worn
No veil to see how torn
High up like a thunderstorm
Came down like no life form
Lightning strike norm
The ground was always warm
I lay down as if free from harm
As if clarity would disarm
I lay next to a firearm
I was born to charm
I should have starred
"F*ck you's" on a score card
The sky would be marred
The high was a safeguard
Drowned in the schoolyard
He ricocheted like a shard
My eyes were scarred
My black heart became hard

Your daddy left you too
Who knows if you even knew
Nevertheless you grew
In silence without hullabaloo
You said what do I do
Daddy isn't coming home so who
Is supposed to
My daddy came home on cue
From jail and he seemed new
For a minute or two
What's your daddy gone through
You don't have a clue
You don't really want to unscrew
Someone you never knew
Your shade of blue
Can get into a queue

Your daddy issue is yours
There's no skeleton behind those doors
There's no weapon inside those drawers
I hide beneath on all fours
Standing upright daddy snores
A high so high he ignores

I cried in a pew
I thought it couldn't be true
The way your footing falls through
The f*ck you gonna do
When your dad makes his debut
Say I always knew
And then he would love you
Until then you make do
With no one to look up to
But Iooking down was my view
I got a good preview
Of what life does to you
But you cry about daddy at 22
Claiming nazi and playing Jew
F*ck you
Go rap about how it ruined you
You were put away I was put through

Your daddy issue is yours
There's no skeleton behind those doors
There's no weapon inside those drawers
I hide beneath on all fours
Standing upright daddy snores
A high so high he ignores
