Supernatural Oversight

My younger brother drank himself out of life
My youngest son committed suicide thanks to his toxic wife
The history of suffering cuts as deep as a knife
I have become the mist that hovers over the strife,

Wives that I've watched just walk away
They're pariahs who were never destined to stay
Blood once spilled doesn't automatically fade away
Your kiss would no longer have influence or sway,

Each day that I live brings me here to this place
Where I light a fire and burn the leather and lace
Then I untrustingly hide the footprints just in case
As I walk the distance between time and space!

Oh sister, would you have saved me if you'd known
My life was spent being ripped away from my throne
I could always tell what her mood was by her tone
As I made dinner for an angry female human stone,

God please look down on a failed prodigal son
Whose life weighs down upon him like a metric ton
All of my vain illusions have gradually come undone
I thought all my children occasionally had fun,

I was never much for frivolous conversation in the night
Instead, I observed the innocent suffering from their plight
Instead, I cried for the gentle ones in a world that wasn't right
You, my Dear, made me pay while you took flight,

A museum of the twisted emotional existence I know so well
Oh baby, did I really make it your personal hell?
Because on your own, my little fox, you did it so well
This is the place where the unknown soldier fell,

Bitter words are all I seem to hear these days
Your loved ones so easily forget in this insane maze
As though you never loved them and they're blinded by the haze
All I can say is that I am never surprised or amazed,

The prodigal son of a warped vision
The flawed saint of enigmatic division
The watcher in the night of surgical precision
Has collapsed with blame and persecution,

Quite ironically on this forgotten night
Far removed from the bickering and the fright
Take me now and forget me my eyes are shut tight
Perhaps I'm a victim of your supernatural oversight.
