Inspiration: Father Time is a vent character of sorts. His association with time, manipulation, and control are all metaphors for a certain individual that abused me throughout my childhood. He tricks others into thinking that he is more powerful than he is through brainwashing techniques, fueled by the reality that his time will run out if he doesn't receive his narcissistic supply. He thrives off of belittling and living vicariously through others, because deep down inside, he is empty and lacks the ability to empathize with others. In reality, all it takes to break free from Father Time is to see through his lies. Once you realize that you are not him, then the rest is up to you.
maybe there's a fever burning on the inside. waiting for the demons to come and lick the tears dry. but i'm still begging for the pale sugar water, eyes lazy for the truth. am i still waiting like a lamb to the slaughter? does your god believe in you? maybe i'm a total wreck, so drain my blood until there's nothing left.
MAYBE I WON'T REPENT. LIVE A LIE AND LET THE VULTURES IN.
