REAMES - The Marrow

Selfishly you thrust me onto earth
To satisfy your self-worth
You couldn't even take care of yourself
Much less someone else
A newborn thrown to wolves
Into their salivating jaws
Raised by a motley of fools
Grasping at straws
And I was nothing
A machine to sustain
Ignored as you drank from your pain
My presence drove you away
And I wish you would've stayed
Drink from my pain
Drink from my sorrow
Eat of this soul
Down to the marrow
Pick me clean to the bone
Harvest my spirit until you're done
You were my lion but Father
Sometimes lions eat their young
Father, why have you forsaken me
For years you ignored my wretched pleas
Father, why did you disappear
To seek what was always here
Father of Lies, Father of Disguise
I release you from the burden that was me
You threw me scraps
While you sucked on the bones
Raised your hand
Only to cast the stones
Suffocation was your warm embrace
You never wiped a single tear
From my face
You never wiped a single tear
From my face
I was never your child
I was born into the wild
I will never be your son
But I'll hunt you just for fun
Searching through you grassland of denial
Tracking you across arid miles
Left behind a scent of fear
I can feel you growing near
Your frail body you drag across the earth
Will scatter as chaff on the threshing floor
Don't forget you birthed a Lion
Ferocious to the core
I'll consume the parts of you I hate
As you hear your Son's terrifying roar
Roar
Roar
Roar
Roar
