Sour Milk
Sour Milk of Regret: A Tale of Family, Demons, and Broken Bonds
Lyrics
You got us waiting for that call again
You're keeping us waiting again for that call
Where did you go? Where have you been?
Asking where you've been and where you went
A father's love can kill his common sense
A father's affection can cloud his judgment
And that demon behind you that hangs on your shoulders, I see it grin
The burden or darkness following you is evident, causing a sinister expression
And it won't let you go till it opens your throat
That burden won't release until it causes harm
God, you let it in
You've allowed this negativity to enter your life
Half my blood, you are the only knife we love
Family ties deeply intertwined, yet causing pain like a sharp blade
I think you punished him enough
Seemingly, you've already inflicted enough punishment
You inspire such a liar
Your actions provoke deceitful behavior
Where were you when the doctor gave the news?
Where were you during the distressing news from the doctor?
I held her hand while you got wrecked as they cut into our mother's chest
While I supported our mother, you were consumed in your own distress
It's in your hands
The responsibility lies in your hands
When will you see there's no line in the sand?
Recognition needed that there are no boundaries or absolutes
There never was
No definite line existed to begin with
Half my blood, you are the only knife we love
A familial connection, powerful but hurtful like a knife
I think you punished him enough
Seems like enough suffering has been caused
You inspire such a liar
Your actions encourage falsehood and deceit
Half my blood, you are the only knife we love
A repetition of the familial bond causing pain
I think you tortured her enough
It appears you've inflicted enough pain on her
Milk turned sour
The metaphorical 'milk' representing something good turned sour, tainted
Such a coward
Characterized by cowardice due to the spoiled nature of the situation
My will is broke and I'm afraid that it shows
My determination is shattered, and I fear it's visible
I can't cry for you 'til I'm like you, at the bottom of a bottle
I cannot emotionally connect until I'm in a similar state to you
They still wait for you
Others are still anticipating your return
We're still counting on you
We're relying on you
They still wait for you
There's an ongoing hope for your presence
We'll keep this candle burning for you
We'll maintain a symbol of hope for you
Half my blood, you are the only knife we love
A repetitive reminder of familial pain, akin to a knife's cut
I think you punished him enough
It seems like the punishment you've meted out is excessive
You inspire such a liar
Your actions provoke dishonesty and falsehoods
Half my blood, you are the only knife we love
Reiterating the intense, painful family connection
I think you tortured her enough
It seems like enough anguish has been inflicted on her
Milk turned sour
A representation of something once good now gone bad and corrupted
Such a coward
Characterized by weakness due to the situation's deterioration
