Left Unfinished

Machine Head

Why was I born?

Sometimes I wish I didn't know

Been times when

I wish that I had just never been

Why did you have me?

Or better yet why'd you leave?

So to the people that could fuck

But then abandoned me



I'll give to this world what you couldn't give

Love the unwanted, every child born discarded

Add to the flock

The rejects you dumped on



I'll never forget

Life you disdain

So to the parents that bore me this pain

With all those things you left unfinished



You never could love me

I'm glad that you never did

My parents that raised me

Had plenty of that to give

And for that

I'll love them forever with all my heart

But to you

Don't let there be no mistake about it

Fuck you, you cocksucker

Fuck you, you whore

I'll live my life the opposite of what you are



Love will be my rock

The rock that I stand on



I'll never forget

Life you disdain

So to the parents that bore me this pain

With all those things you left unfinished



Don't try to reach out to me

Don't try to call

The boy that you created

Is dead for all you fucking know

You just pretend you've never heard or seen
