Well do you remember how far this family feel when we had to put down the dog?
Well just imagine the depths that we could reach, if we woke up and found out that you had gone?
We'd sink deeper than marina's trench with our captain lost at sea
You are the savior to our metropolis and it's not yet time for you to leave
So don't try to bury your shame, down deep beneath the waves
You can find the surface, if you just allow the waves to break
Over the heads of those who deny that this vice has the potential to take your life
So please daddy please just try
Oh captain, my captain I still view you as superman
But bleeding gums and a diseased tongue should make you understand
That super powers are not found in that tin your hand
But through this family, to which you've given all that you can
My man, you know you gave us everything we had, so please just let us do the same for you.
Goddamn I know how good that fix feels dad, but look at all this shit that it's put you through
And I know it's hard for you to show your smile when that shit has fucking stained your teeth
But just listen to your begging child, it's something that you no longer need
So why can't you just drop it? Don't you know it's eating you away?
Just think of the disappointment, that your death will bring to my child's face
No I can't watch you slowly poison yourself, so you can go and put that shit on somebody else
You can hate but we know I'm just thinking of your health
Oh captain, my captain I still view you as superman
But bleeding gums and a diseased tongue should make you understand
That super powers are not found in that tin your hand
But through this family, to which you've given all that you can
Oh father please I beg you, I'm not ready to watch you die
What the fuck am I supposed to do without your love in my life?
Just think of what it'd do to momma, please don't make us fucking bury you
Why can't you see that fix isn't worth it? That you're living your life through abuse?!
