well your legacy of hate descends
where the dreams begin and the nightmares end
and maybe, i should have left it right there
well i pinch myself and i click my heels
and you'll never know how quite how it feels
you're not a parent, you're a recurring nightmare
well i will never let you win
when the nightmares end and the dreams begin
you coward, you never ever did fight fair
and i cut myself just to see you bleed
and to siphon off all the pain it feeds
you're not a parent, you're a recurring nightmare
and maybe it's a futile quest
but at least i know i tried my best
and i'd try to talk to you if i thought you might care
but fortunately I can see
there's no way you resemble me
you're not a parent, you're a recurring nightmare
