Father do you know my name Do you know me at all? How is it we’re not the same Yet identical? Rotten apple of your eye Your footsteps I'll not tread No words I know of to describe Years gone I've wished you dead
Looking in the mirror I see not myself It’s your face that I'm now wearing Your hands that I've been dealt
Father do you know my age? Do you know how old I am? Could you tell me at what stage? I became a man? Forgotten offspring, out of sight Out of mind, neglect A reject bin baby born of lies Is easier to forget
Father do you feel ashamed Do you have regrets? Creating life is not some game You put on as a bet Error of your double life A guilty secret kept Already married with a wife Familiarity breeds contempt
