Days Turn Blue to Gray — Machine Head

Thou have fathered Son and daughter Doth begat, yet raised not bother Paralyzed your children's lives Wither vines of family ties

Self-destruction Make him function Crayons and clay Days turn blue to gray Days turn blue to gray

Seventeen when Family begin Drinking, fighting, heroin Unquenchable addictions call Responsible to none above all

Self-destruction Make him function Crayons and clay Days turn blue to gray Days turn blue to gray

Lest I taste Its sweet grapes Glass to tongue Across it tips Cross my lips Swallow it down

Please Won't you love me? Please help me see What did I do? Did I hurt you? And now that you're gone Emptiness lives on The guilt is all I feel No closure

Father Motherfucker No closure

The strings of my heart You pulled on endlessly This twine is severed In tragedy

Father Mother Destroyer Destroy her

Your self-destruction What made you feel alive Your self-destruction Of your children's Lives
