[Verse 1]
Daddy's got a new life now
A new daughter and a new male child
A new swagger with some real style
New car, new house, brand-new spouse
Little shitty dog named Klaus
New smile on his mouth
Wouldn't say that we're forgotten, 'cause we developed a plan
Once a month, he takes the time to hang with his old fam
Half a day to let you know he still cares and such
You won't grow apart too much from being out of touch
But he wasn't there for him on the daily, yeah, the basis
In order to drop jewels like, "Stay clear of the racists"
Heavy promises became weightless
Sincerity became fakeness
He's praying for his heart to ache less
Time is passing by, yet his scars remain ageless
He called him on the phone to say, pops
This'll take just a minute of your time
But his wishes were declined
By the disenchanted tone at the end of the line
Hang up, try to look strong in front of mom
Back up, John, stop looking forward to the day you're gonna see him on
Now you're eye to eye and you receive an embrace
From a lost heart that's pumping blood up to a guilty face
He's gonna try to find ways to make up for the last twenty-nine days
Or was it thirty?
I think he heard me
In situations like this, his speech becomes wordy
He's got a hundred million ways to tell me not to worry
But this time, I wasn't hanging on his every sentence
Ears crippled by the pain of negligence or was it vengeance?
He spoke, I couldn't hear a word, I zoned, it looked like I observed
My only thoughts were missing out on love that I deserved
Trying to convince myself I'm weak within the mental
But silence breaks, because a father's guidance is essential
He's lookin' down with a smile
Saying, in the future, we'll be great pals
Yeah, dad, but what about the now?
