What's it gonna take for you to change your mind
What's the matter, son?
Is the stone you call a heart gonna bleed me dry
What's the matter, son?
How many pounds of flesh do I need to shed
Before we put it all behind so it matters none?
Do I matter, son?
Why?
If I called you up just to talk would it make things right
What's the matter, son?
Or would it serve just to deepen the divide
What's the matter, son?
Can we finally come to some kind of compromise
Before you burn this bone to ash and it matters none?
Don't you love me son?
I reach for
What should be
Love and affection
But is it? Or is it really...
Self admiration
Manipulation
Dull conversation
And selfish relationship
It took so long for me to understand
How you seek to better your feelings for yourself by putting me down
I'm just a pawn in your chess game
But I won't take your name with me to my grave
(Burn this bone to ash and be reborn again from dust)
I'M NOT YOUR SON
I'M NOT YOUR SON ANYMORE
I'M NOT YOUR SON
I WILL BE REBORN
FROM THE ASH
