The Holiday Man

Fear of becoming the Holiday Man
surrounded by non-existing memories
sleeping with dreams of the possibilities
I don't want to become him
never being there for a child
trying to buy the love of a son
He tries to erase what he has done
I will never forget how long he was gone
to only come around for the glory
trying to convince me with make-believe stories
My sadness turns to anger when he speaks
He makes excuses for his absence
I will never forgive him for leaving
deep down I love him he is my father
but i will not become him The Holiday Man
