Machine Head - Days Turn Blue To Gray lyrics

Thou have fathered

Son and daughter

Doth begat, yet raised not bother

Paralyzed your children's lives

Wither vines of family ties

Self-destruction

Make him function

Crayons and clay

Days turn blue to gray

Days turn blue to gray

Seventeen when

Family begin

Drinking, fighting, heroin

Unquenchable addictions call

Responsible to none above all

Self-destruction

Makes him function

Crayons and clay

Days turn blue to gray

Days turn blue to gray

Lest I taste

Its sweet grapes

Glass to tongue

Across it tips

Cross my lips

Swallow it down

Please

Won't you love me?

Please help me see

What did I do?

Did I hurt you?

And now that you're gone

Emptiness lives on

The guilt is all I feel

No closure

Father

Motherfucker

No closure

The strings of my heart

You pulled on endlessly

This twine is severed

In tragedy

Father

Mother Destroyer

Destroy her

Your self-destruction

What made you feel alive

Your self-destruction

Of your children's Lives
