Like Father, Like Daughter

Stuck in a vicious spiral downward
And I can't seem to turn around
Every move spins me even more
I don't know how to slow it down

It started with just stupid thoughts
About my father and his alcohol
How he drinks and drinks, mixing drugs
And even he can't end it all

I feel it deep inside my body
His disease taints my very core
Just one simple thought, a vague idea
And I feel like I've hit the floor

Feeling abandoned by faceless parents
Left alone by those supposed to care
I swear I'd never write this again
But this disease I'm afraid we share

All those who swore they'd stay
Have decided to run and save their fate
For years I tried to deny the truth
But our likeness is just too great

Always looking for a way to escape
Constantly searching for a way out
I see now why I couldn't leave
I understand it now without a doubt

Drinking in his every lost regret
I'm making sure the cycle goes on
I can numb myself to this life
I'll feel like I"m here but gone

Regret for those I'm destroying
With every single poison cup
I know they'll be just like me
But still I just can't give it up

He didn't take one glance back
As he stole the life I could've had
Now I'm following that same path
Like tainted daughter, like broken dad.
