Coward
Coward's Legacy: Triumph Over Betrayal
Lyrics
I blame myself for never saying anything.
I regret not expressing myself earlier.
You're dead to me,
You are emotionally nonexistent to me.
But I'm the fool who still believes
I still hold hope that someday you'll understand.
That one day you'll actually see
That realization might dawn on you.
That you missed out on everything.
You missed out on valuable things because of your actions.
My innocence you devoured,
Your actions corrupted my innocence.
You fuckin' coward!
An explicit declaration of contempt for your cowardice.
I'm finding faith in myself tonight
I'm regaining confidence in myself.
And finally, I got it right.
Finally making the right choices.
I must forgive you to move on.
Forgiveness is necessary for my own progression.
It's my only choice;
No other viable option but to forgive.
Cause' you'll never come
You won't return to mend the damage.
To fill up all the cracks in this foundation.
The damage caused cannot be rectified easily.
You're the fear, all the panic and shame.
You represent my fears and insecurities.
I'm afraid I'll be like you one day.
Fear of becoming like you in the future.
I'd love to hear the things you tell yourself
Curiosity about the justifications you give yourself.
To pass the blame.
Shifting blame onto others.
Your own daughter barely knows your face.
Your absence has resulted in your own child not recognizing you.
You set the fire and then walked away,
You caused chaos and left without dealing with it.
Leaving everyone to clean the mess that you have made.
Others are left to handle the mess you created.
Everything you passed down to me,
The negative traits and issues you passed down to me.
The stiff right hand, this fuckin' disease.
Reference to inheriting negative behavioral patterns or traits.
What do I get for being your son
What did I gain by being your child? Nothing.
Nothing!
Absence of acknowledgment or reward for being your offspring.
I'm finding faith in myself tonight
Rediscovering faith and belief in oneself.
And finally, I got it right.
Finally making positive decisions about self-worth.
I must forgive you to move on.
Forgiveness is a necessity to progress.
It's my only choice;
Forgiveness being the only feasible option.
Cause' you'll never come
You won't return to mend the damage.
To fill up all the cracks in this foundation.
The damage caused cannot be rectified easily.
Jesus Christ, look what you've done.
Reflecting on the chaos and damage caused by you.
Abandoning everyone that you should love.
Abandonment of those who deserve love.
You fuckin' failed me.
Expressing feeling let down and failed by you.
All that I have left
Only left with the option to forgive or forget.
Is a choice to forgive or forget.
The only choices left after such betrayal.
Hold your hand to the fire
Challenging the deceitful nature.
You fuckin' liar
Labeling you as a liar who deserves consequences.
I'm finding faith in myself tonight
Rediscovering faith and belief in oneself.
And finally, I got it right.
Finally making positive decisions about self-worth.
I must forgive you to move on.
Forgiveness is a necessity to progress.
It's my only choice;
Forgiveness being the only feasible option.
Cause' you'll never come
You won't return to mend the damage.
To fill up all the cracks in this foundation.
The damage caused cannot be rectified easily.
