False Fatherhood
My father was a man once
but never again
His children watched as he welcomed his demons
Whispering offers from which he couldnt abstain
Quickly they betrayed him and held his freedom
His face masked in umbra, his eyes, their domain
He spew forth lies, endless nights of schemin'
His dark maw was insatiable, only hunger remained
Hadn't seen him in years but he was already leavin'
I want to love him but only hold disdain
Never did anything but donated his semen
Marking his sons with the curse of Cain
We were children once
but never again
