such a failure

broken years piled on top of one another
ignored your role, had vices to smother
only care about the chance to get away
to this day you take every escape


someone called you mother once upon a time
and to you, leaving them behind felt just fine
did you ever even try to be what they really needed?
your goal was to enjoy your life and you succeeded

can't say a prayer...
for such a failure...
can't say a prayer...
for such a failure



a man left with no choice but to work most of everyday
and children left wondering is every family this way?
now they've grown and thanks to you they don't know how to feel
i curse you for showing her love could never be real

someone called you mother once upon a time
and to you, leaving them behind felt just fine
blame everyone around you for letting your life fall apart
God please tell me creatures like this don't have a heart


can't say a prayer...
for a such a failure....
can't say a prayer....
for such a failure....

how can they forgive and forget
when you remind them everyday how much you didn't care?
you drink, you fall, you only live to kill yourself
and you had the nerve to think you could repair

can't say a prayer....
for such a failure...
won't say a prayer....
for such a failure....


in the end i pity you for ruining your relationship with anyone that ever got close to you. i hope you carry shame like a burden. i hope you have remorse for the childhoods you ruined so you could live without a worry. i'll still hope God shows mercy. And I'll still say prayers that you turn around. But I can't help but think, they'll all be wasted.
