Dream Theater - Honor Thy Father Lyrics

Send "Honor Thy Father" ringtone to your cell

We're taught unconditional love

That blood is thicker than water

That a parent's world would revolve

Always around their son or their daughter

You pretend I was your own

And even believed that you loved me

But were always threatened by some

Invisible blood line that only you could see

You took advantage of an outreached hand

And twisted it to meet your every need

''Gimme time to re-charge my batteries

I'll see her when she's older and I'll bounce her on my knee''

Well listen to me you ungrateful fool

Her comes a dose of reality

You'll go to your grave a sad and lonely man

The door is now closed on your pathetic little plan

On and on and on and on it goes

It's so easy to run away with nothing in tow

How can you ever sleep a wink at night

Pretending that everything is alright

And have the nerve to blame this mess on me

Never in my life have I seen someone

So ignorant to the damage he has done

You're the rotted root in the family tree

I tried your 4 bill therapy

I tried to make amends

But nothing could lure you out of your selfish shell again

Expecting everyone to bow and kiss your feet

Don't you see respect is not a one way street

Blaming everyone for all that you've done wrong

I'll get my peace of mind when you hear this song

On and on and on and on it goes

And with every passing day true colors show

How can you ever sleep a wink at night

Pretending that everything is alright

And have the balls to blame this mess on me

Never in my life have I seen someone

Oblivious to the damage he has done

You're the rotted root in the family tree

Watch where you walk

Don't you dare cross the crooked step

Watch the way you talk

Don't cross the crooked step

["This is a regret that you make"]

["We're still connected"]

["This is a regret that you make-"]

["I want my family back"]

["-and there's something you take"]

["I'm sorry for you but it's too late…"]

["Mistakes like this… You won't make"]

["Don't you see anything?"]

["You make some… And they'll get to you"]

["You don't love anybody"]

["I gave you money I gave you a car I took you in-"]

["It's not OK son"]

["-but don't that mean something?"]

["A little… No… You can do better"]

["That's the point…"]

["God damn regrets!"]

["You deserve to die alone for what you've done!!"]

["GOD DAMN REGRETS!"]

["Don't deny it"]

["The biggest regret in my life"]

["I've let my love go"]

["I'm your blood… I'm your family"]

["Thank you"]

["What did I do?"]

["You're not my family not anymore"]

["The fucking regrets!"]

["I'm your own flesh and blood"]

["What did I do?"]

["You know"]

["WHAT DID I DO?!!"]

On and on and on and on it goes

Chauvinistic heartless selfish cold

How can you ever sleep a wink at night

Pretending that everything is alright

And have the balls to blame this shit on me

Never in my life have I seen someone

So fucking blind to the damage he has done

You're the rotted root in the family tree
