You're funny
You're kind
The little things never leave your mind
You always take a little more
Eat it now or leave it for store
I don't like you anymore

I wish my mind was smaller
I wish you were still taller
I wish your words still rang true
I wish I trusted you
I wish I was blind
I wish I was yours and you were mine

It's not mine until it is
No matter how long your lips flap
The world changes after the night mist
Our new outlook shouldn't be a slap

Isolate, contain and stifle
You're the only one with a rifle
You're that father, the protecter
No matter the cost of the receiver
Let me do it, let me help
Your protection keeps freedom out of step

You need control, at any cost
Shut up! You're far too lost!

No use crying over spilled milk
Only shouting, and a whole day to sulk

You love me, I want to believe you
You love him, I know you do

You're intent is to feed us
To lead us
To fatten us
To slacken us
I'm grateful
I'm guiltful

I'm thankful for you
I owe my life to you
Not just in the breeding, but in the laughing, the crying, the giving, the feeding
In the defending, the loving, the praying, the knowing

In a world without fathers, at least you're here
Even if security only exists when you're near

When I leave your world will shatter
I will have to quickly scatter
No matter what, you always matter
My father, my leader, my guider, my teacher
