Forgive me, Father
Holier Than Thou - Nightmare Melodies Series

Note from me:
Before you start reading, I would like to disclose that this "song" is purely fictional, and has dark undertones. It can be triggering for some.
You see, I am blessed and/or cursed with nightmares and dreams every night. Call Me Ms. G! is one of the songs that play in my nightmares. And it is followed by Forgive me, Father.
Unfortunately, I cannot remember the melody during my waking hours. All I remember was that the genre would most likely fall under Gothic Rock.
Anyway, in my manic state, I got up at 3 am every day to write down the lyrics!
Would you believe me when I say that it's a whole album?
In my nightmares, I remember perusing through "the variant" of Spotify. Then there I saw the album called Holier than thou - The Nightmare Melodies.
Well, here's the second song in that album! Enjoy :)
P.S. the album logo is almost identical to my book cover House of Trials - Soul Exchange
Forgive me, Father
I tried my best
Did what you told me to do
But it wasn't enough
It never was enough
You were my idol
Even on days when alcohol would take you away
Even on days you'd put me through hell
But that wasn't enough
It never was enough
As I lie in my hospital bed
I think about all the things you do
All I just wanted was to be like you
Maybe you'd love me then
But I often wonder if that would be enough
Forgive me, Father
We went to church
And sang praises to God
I love those times
Because you felt safe
But behind closed doors
The alcohol would take you away
Daddy, please stop
If I let you, would that be enough?
As I lie in my hospital bed
I think about all the things that you do
All I just wanted was to be like you
Maybe you'd love me then
Maybe you'd stop hurting me then
But I often wonder if that would be enough
Forgive me, Father
Blessed are the meek
For they shall inherit Earth
You often taught me
To silence me
Whenever I scream why can't you love me
As I die in my hospital bed
I thought about the things that you did
No one should be like you
I was never like you
Forgive me, Father
Mommy come to take me away
Maybe you'd love me then
Maybe you'd stop hurting me then
Forgive me, Father
But I often wonder if that would be enough
Because it never was enough
Forgive me, Father
I often wonder if that would be enough
Because it never was enough
It never would be enough
It wasn't enough

This would make a good song. It sort of has an Evanescence feel to it.
