In Your Eyes, I'm a Sinner

I was born a rebel,
I hated your ways.
In fact I tried so hard to not become
just like you.
I changed my face,
I changed my name,
I'm still your little girl,
but to you I'll never be the same.
What did I do wrong,
what did I do wrong? Absolutely nothing
but I'm nothing but a "dirty heathen".

In your eyes I'm a sinner,
did you ever love me?
Did you love me only 'cause it was your job?
Look what this did to you, what this
did to me,
you tore the family apart,
right at the seams.
In your eyes, we are sinners.

You couldn't stand being wrong,
well neither can I,
but I don't go around saying
"You're a piece of shit."
I never heard "sorry",
and you even admitted that
you're an ugly man,
not the same one she married.
She could've left you then.
walked right out that door.
But she loved you and stood by you
JUST LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

In your eyes I'm a sinner,
did you ever love me?
Did you love me only 'cause it was your job?
Look what this did to you, what this
did to me,
you tore the family apart,
right at the seams.
In your eyes, we are sinners.

Branded as "sinners".
Branded as "heathens".
Branded by you,
all the positive memories faded to black
in my mind.
I didn't understand,
couldn't understand.
I was too young,
I had to grow up way too fast to
understand it.
Branded "psychotic",
I'm lucky I'm as good as I am.
Lucky I turned out okay.
You never thought twice,
'cause everything was all about YOU.

In your eyes I'm a sinner,
did you ever love me?
Did you love me only 'cause it was your job?
Look what this did to you, what this
did to me,
you tore the family apart,
right at the seams.
In your eyes, we are sinners.

Branded as "sinners".
We should all be saints.
Please burn in Hell,
you're not the father that I knew and loved.
So I finally wrote a song about my dad. It was bound to happy eventually, and I had wanted to write one.

Mmm, maybe you'll get an insight as to how bad my dad really was. He was verbally abusive to my mother, for one thing, and he was extremely self-centred, egotistical, and everything had to be done "his way". His obsession with the Catholic church also tore the family apart and made up flee the area to get away from him. My second oldest brother became an atheist, my mother stopped going to church, and I left the church for another religion. Of course, this all happened after he died, but whatever. The only one who still goes is my eldest brother.

So yeah. That's some insight. This is a raw, emotional piece. And it's very...therapeutic.

Please no critique. This is just a "venting" piece.
