I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING

LEAVING MY CHILD BEHIND

NOW I SUFFER THE CURSE AND NOW I AM BLIND

WITH ALL THIS ANGER, GUILT, AND SADNESS COMING TO HAUNT ME FOREVER

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE CLIFF AT THE END OF THE RIVER

IS THIS REVENGE THAT I'M SEEKING

OR SEEKING SOMEONE TO AVENGE ME?

STUCK IN MY OWN PARADOX, I WANNA SET MY SELF FREE

MAYBE I SHOULD CHASE AND FIND BEFORE THEY'LL TRY TO STOP IT

IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE I BECOME A PUPPET

IT'S BEEN SO LONG, SINCE LAST I'VE SEEN MY SON

LOST TO THIS MONSTER, 

TO THE MAN BEHIND THE SLAUGHTER

SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE,

I'VE BEEN SINGING THIS STUPID SONG

SO I COULD PONDER 

THE SANITY OF YOUR MOTHER

I WISHED I LIVED IN THE PRESENT, WITH THE GIFT OF MY PAST MISTAKES

BUT THE FUTURE KEEPS LURING IN LIKE A BAG OF SNAKES

YOUR SWEET LITTLE EYES, YOUR LITTLE SMILE IS ALL I REMEMBER

THOSE FUZZY MEMORIES MESS WITH MY TEMPER

JUSTIFICATION IS KILLING ME

BUT KILLING ISN'T JUSTIFIED

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SON? I'M TERRIFIED

IT LINGERS IN MY MIND BUT THE THOUGHT KEEPS ON GETTING BIGGER

I'M SORRY MY SWEET BABY, I'D WISH I'D BEEN THERE

IT'S BEEN SO LONG, SINCE LAST I'VE SEEN MY SON

LOST TO THIS MONSTER,

TO THE MAN BEHIND THE SLAUGHTER

SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE,

I'VE BEEN SINGING THIS STUPID SONG

SO I COULD PONDER

THE SANITY OF YOUR MOTHER
