Propaganda - You Mock Me Lyrics
I asked you to be a symbol of strength that was once given yet you mocked meOh the mockeryAnd I placed so much confidence in the lessons I swear you taught me yet you mock meOh the mockeryAnd you taunt me about glory daysYou say my best it yet behind meYou just bring up old stuff, our relationship is so unhealthySo codependent,You cut me... downYou blame me, I blame meBut I'm a man and I won't crackAnd I won't show emotions, rightI do just like my daddy did and he is deadI bury you.I built me a mausoleum with a storage unit attached to it Just for youAnd I have grown so very weary at failing to make you stay thereI hate it when you show up at my functionsYou're so pompousAnd without an ounce of shameYou almost ruined my marriage, You mocked meOh the humanityAnd I tired to upgrade the way I speakAnd raise my daughter,But every time I open my mouth all I hear is my fatherAnd the same foolish pride and pitfalls that he installed Leaked through my pores likePoor me, so annoyingAnd I placed so much faith in youBut you let me down...I see my own eyes in my eight year old when I correct herWhy won't you go away?You smirk as you chase meYou a coy, hellin a troy that toys with emotionsAnd feebleBring boys, like me fall for it every time you mock meAnd I'll probably do my best to convince you that I'm the victimAnd you just don't believe meYou insist you are meAnd I've ran, and I've ranYet your stride is identicalEvery step I took your foot fit right in itWhy can't I shake you?I just can't shake you.You... are my pastWhy won't you stay thereYou that pain that guides usStrings that tie usThat coincidence that proves to us God's existenceThe joy I misplacedBeautiful mistakesMy scarlet thread,My crimson cord
