Chapter 8 - Father of Mine

This is another one about Marik (Ishizu and Odion too, kinda). It mostly fits now, but the line about being a grown man with a child of his own will be applied a future project of mine, History Repeats Itself.

SONG: Father of Mine
ARTIST: Everclear
NEW TITLE: Father of Mine

Father of mine, tell me where have you been?
You know I just close my eyes
My whole world disappears

Father of mine, take me back to the day
Yeah, when I was still your golden boy
Back before you went away

I remember blue skies, walking the sand
I loved all the things I saw
I loved to understand

You never took me to the movies
Never took me to the beach
Instead you left a hole inside
That is so very deep

Father of mine, tell me why did you go
Yeah, you had the world inside your hand
But you did not seem to know

Father of mine, tell me what do you see
When you look back at your wasted life
And you don't see me

I was 10 years old, doing all that I could
Wasn't easy for us to be a scared group of kids
In a brand-new neighborhood

Sometimes I wish you had said Happy Birthday
At least once in your life
Yeah, I guess it was stupid
To think that you were actually nice

Daddy gave me a name
My daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My daddy gave me a name

Yeah, oh yeah

Daddy gave me a name
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My daddy gave me a name

Yeah, yeah, oh yeah

Father of mine, tell me where have you been
Yeah, I just close my eyes
And the world disappears

Father of mine, tell me how do you sleep
With the children you abandoned
And the wife I saw you beat

I will never be safe
I will never be sane
I will always be weird inside
I will always be lame

Now I'm a grown man with a child of my own
And I swear I'm never gonna let him know
All the pain I have known

Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
And then he walked away
My daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away, yeah
Then he walked away, yeah
Then he walked away
