Victoria Dear. Daddy
[Verse 1:]
You're drinking again
Daddy please stop, can't you see the pain we're all in?
Daddy I'm not one to complain but could you please stop talking so profane?
At first you had beer slain and then it was every now and again
But anymore there's a full case in the fridge
Ya get an itch, open a bottle and throw a major fit
Look me in the eye and say I'm a little bitch
But that's okay, I've been called worse
No curse word you can blurt will make me wanna disperse
Away, at the end of the day you still my daddy and I love you
Even if I think you don't feel the same way
And every single day I struggle, but never forget to pray
That someday you'll change
Put down the bottle, stop acting deranged
Exchange the booze and the yelling for some bedtime story telling
Is my argument very compelling? Or am I making you more angry by quote "rebelling"
Daddy I'm sorry
I'm sorry

[Verse 2:]
Daddy, oh daddy do you know how hard it is
To go to school with a big black eye and have to lie and say I got hit by a high fly
Ball, and have the teachers and my friends scrutinizing every detail of my white lie?
Daddy I know that you're upset but why do you resort to violence?
Why has our family fallen so amiss?
Why do you act like such a thug and a roughen?
I really wish you wouldn't hit...
Have you seen what a mess you've turned mommy into?
She doesn't trust any man anymore, all because of you
She's warned us all to never marry, we'll never push through the abuse
We're better off dying alone than being forced to live with a human cyclone
But I think that she's wrong
Men aren't the enemy, no not in the least
It's the poisonous substances that bring out the beast from an otherwise non-religious priest
If the alcohol consumption level is decreased then maybe the violence will finally cease
What do you say daddy? Will you put down the bottle for one night as a family?
[Verse 3:]
This can't be real, this can't be happening
Daddy why on earth are you strangling mommy!?
And what do you mean you're only practicing!?!
You keep battling this family and it's like you're abandoning us!
I guess you never really cared even once about us
So Daddy, now I have to confess
I no longer love you, I can't handle all this stress when I'm only six
I thought giving up alcohol would fix this mess but you still had to get your kicks
Put down the bottle and picked up the pipe
Started going to the street corner to get your fix
And now that you're under the influence of some nasty things
You're at least 200x worse than in the prior verse
Daddy I know you think of us as too weak
But two weeks ago we were sitting and laughing altogether
Embracing and hugging, I admit I wished it could last forever
But since then the weather took a turn for the worse and along with went your attitude
And it's left me so confused
Mommy, what's a prostitute, and how come Daddy keeps talking about a house of ill repute?
Hey sissy, what's a lawsuit?
Mommy said she filed one but I don't know what it all means
She said something about Daddy being in big trouble with the State
Is it because he went on all those blind dates?
Or maybe because he made fun of you and your body weight?
Wait
Daddy hasn't been home for three weeks straight
Mommy, are finally rid of him?
Are we finally free?
We're finally free
