Lyrics

25 Years

[Verse 1]

I vent my frustration at you, old man

After years, your ears will hear

You screamed that you tried

But it's words of a weakling and promises made by a liar, drunken liar

Now you pick up that splintered chair that was aiming for your head

A head that should have been long ago kicked in by me alone

[Pre-Chorus]

I won't lose a second of sleep for this

Not again

[Chorus]

Don't touch me

Don't touch me

Don't touch me

No

Ever again

Don't touch me

Don't touch me

Don't touch me

[Verse 2]

Orphaned to the dope and drinks

I learned my lessons well somehow from you

No tears, can't clutch my regrets

But these years of detachment have left me with demons now surfacing

But I'm becoming more than nothing

You never knew the answers to any of my questions, did you?

You made up all the answers to my unimportant existence

[Pre-Chorus]

You don't have to dump me off

Not again

[Chorus]

Don't touch me

Don't touch me

Don't touch me

Fuck, no

Ever again

Don't touch me

Don't touch me

Don't touch me

Fuck, no

Don't touch me

Never again

Don't touch me

Don't touch me again

[Bridge]

I vow, lest I die tomorrow

Tomorrow, tomorrow

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

[Verse 3]

You'll never be the father I am

The bastard father to the thousands

Of the ugly, criticized, the unwanted

The ones with fathers just like you

We're fucking you back, fucking you back

I'm shoving my life right down your throat

Can I find the guts? Can I feel the heart?

Look at the ground as you choke me up

Does it taste like tequila or failure?

[Refrain]

We're fucking you back

We're fucking you back

We're fucking you back

We're fucking you back

[Outro]

Criticize what you wreck

We're fucking you back

Fucking you back

The unwanted

The ones with fathers just like you

We're fucking you back

Fucking you back

We're fucking you back
