"Father's Hands"
He was never there for us. Never, never. I wish he were…almost. Brother hates him for leaving us. Leaving me, mom, and brother. I don't know if I hate him or not. I…just don't know. I never really knew him. Mother always said her left so he could d his research, and complete his dream.
Fathers hands were lined with dirt
From long days in the field
And mothers hands are serving meals
In a cafe on Main Street
With mouths to feed
Just trying to keep clothing on our backs
And all I hear about is
How it's so bad, it's so bad
Mother worked hard for us. She never showed weakness, never ever. She always stayed strong. For us, she said. She continued on like normal. Raising us, for when we were very small. She never cried around brother and I. She would cry, though, when she thought we weren't looking. But, we could see she was sad.
It's too bad, It's stupid
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk
Let's talk
Then, she died, all of a sudden, leaving us alone, parentless. She didn't mean too. She'd been hiding her illness from us, and the world. She was secretly suffering, pretending to be fine. That's why brother blamed father for her death. That's why he hates him.
You left without saying goodbye
Although I'm sure you tried
You call the house from time to time
To make sure we're alive
But you weren't there
Right when I'm needed you the most
And now I dream about it
How it's so bad, it's so bad
He didn't even come to the funeral. He left us, never coming to check on us. Just when we needed him the most, he didn't come. Sure, we had Winry and Auntie to help take care of us. But, we needed him. We wanted someone to take care of us, like, family. Winry and Auntie were family, but we wanted mother.
It's too bad, It's stupid
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk
Let's talk
That's why we tried it. Human transmutation. We tried to bring mother back. We thought we'd lost everything. We…were wrong. Brother had this theory, but it was wrong. We were wrong. The price cost us plenty. My body, brother's leg and arm, our childhood. Especially brother's, he blamed himself…But it was both of us performed the forbidden.
Father's hands are lined with guilt
For tearing us apart
Guess it turned out in the end
Just look at where we are
Made it out, still got clothing on our backs
And now I scream about it
How it's so bad, it's so bad
Brother blames father for leaving us, letting mother die, and not coming to the funeral. But we survived. We came out ok, even after mother died. Brother took care of us both, by joining the military and becoming a military lapdog. He promises to get my body back, no matter the cost. We survived without him.
It's too bad, It's stupid
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk
Let's talk
We stood up, and walked forward without him.
No time, last one, let's go
