Lyrics

Intro (Spoken)
Yeah.
Blame Dad.

Verse 1 (Spoken)
You know how it is when you want what you never really had.
Burns so bad—feeling sad, mad, not rad, blaming Dad for the riot.
You can't hide it, can't deny it, you can try it,
But you're gonna cry it.
Why it hits the core more before you can prepare for it.

Pre-Hook
She said shame plus unmet needs,
Stress-filled thoughts repeat deeds.
Straight recede—catch 'em, stop 'em at the seeds.

Hook (Soft, sung/mantra)
No feeds, no leads.
Breathe.
No feeds, no leads.
Breathe.

Verse 2 (Spoken)
No proceeds—just beads of sweat.
No doubt you'll feel 'em heating up, stirring, revealing.
There's something appealing—stealing a glance,
Or hell, a face full of something distasteful.
Not disgraceful.
Very human and honest.

Bridge (Drop instruments, voice only)
Humbled.
No longer the strongest.

Verse 3 (Spoken)
Maybe a bong rip'll crack you—
No, I didn't mean to attack you.
I mean—what am I saying?
Crack who?

Hook (Mantra, quieter)
No feeds, no leads.
Breathe.

Outro (Spoken)
Blame loosens.
Body talks.
I listen.

Interpretation

Intergenerational wound processing. Desire is framed as absence—wanting what was never received. Anger, shame, and unmet needs loop somatically before cognition catches up. "Blame Dad" is less accusation than shorthand for origin pain. The poem pivots from reactive blame to regulation: noticing heat, sweat, impulses; interrupting patterns at the seed. Vulnerability replaces strength; honesty replaces dominance. The ending destabilizes aggression mid-sentence, revealing awareness in real time. Emotional vector: resentment → somatic surge → humility → self-interruption.
