Absentee Dad

[Verse] You were never there just dust in the air Left us alone come home said you don't care Mom worked so hard fightin' off despair No support no love man you ain't fair [Verse 2] Empty chair at the table just lies in your fables No birthday no call you're always unstable Said you'd be around but never showed the label The heartache the pain turned me into your scapegoat [Chorus] Absent dad lost and gone You left us here to carry on Don't need you now we're strong Forget your name life's a thrash punk song [Verse 3] Double bass drowns out what you said Louder faster pulse the anger I fed Every note a shout for the life we bled Busted strings from dreams you fled [Bridge] Thrashin' wild in circles of fire Guitar screamin' truth I never tire You ghosted your duties you won't be admired We're the rise from the ashes of your expired [Verse 4] So here's to you and your disappearing act Sent us reeling but we fought back Don't need your excuses your love we lacked Raise our fists high in this thrash punk attack
