He wakes up has a drink or two
He has two more to follow suit
By 12 he’s falling down the stairs
By 1 he’s claiming no one cares
He struggles to iron his clothes
He said that he’d be out till god who knows
And his badge is fixed to his left arm
He stinks of drink yet he’s still calm
What a way to live your life my father
Each drink it drowns your son and daughter
And I know that it hurt
But you didn’t have to go and do your worst
And I wanna shout
And I wanna scream until my walls come tumbling down
Onto what you’ve done
To your son
He wakes again and blows off work
He looks at me and gives a smirk
It’s a smirk I’ll never see again
The drink it’s stolen my best friend
And you always said you couldn’t think
So is that why you chose the drink
Or was it he that came to you
He touched your heart your lips turned blue
And I know that it hurt
But you didn’t have to go and do your worst
And I wanna shout
And I wanna scream until my walls come tumbling down
Onto what you’ve done
To your son
But I’m still your son
