Zac Mayfield - The Family Ruin lyrics

She finds him by the fire His clothes have got him drippin' from his crimes He beckons her, "Sweet daughter" The voice that once avenged her younger life He's got the voice of a con The same one Who cut down in the name of his God Who took on the robe of a judge Without a license to k** without cause He's not worth it He's not worth it He's not worth it Remember what he did that made you question all the words he cited From the book, the same book That's reeling you home after so many years of silence And the daughter watches father As he sleeps and dreams, she brings the knife to light Cause she knows he can't go farther And he'll never wake to see his daughter cry Don't lose control or you will long To go back to this time and rewrite your thought Cause you're about to choose what's to come So ironic, it's ironic It's ironic that you're contemplating murder while I'm educating you in mercy You say you want, you say you want The means to believe Don't change who you are, cause who you are is how I made you to discover me The steel marries his skin (No, it's not worth it, it's not worth it) (I cut him down, I cut him down) He didn't have to fall It's your fault, it's your fault, you lost control And now you long to go back and rewrite your thought But I won't let you slip away Not this time, not this time This time you're gonna learn what it means to receive the very mercy That you denied when you denied The means to believe I'll keep feeding you the proof that you need But you spit it out to further your doubt And now he can't go farther Cause he'll never wake to see his daughter cry
