you are appreciated - zakk scott lyrics

[verse 1]
dear dad, here’s another song from your son zakk
regarding all of the things i’ve said and done in the past
i know that last year i gave you the same christmas present
but this one’s a different message and i hope you will accept it
the “deathbed” rap was written from a place of anguish
when i thought that you were dying, it was my own way to face it
every night you went to sleep i worried that you wouldn’t wake
and on top of everything else, the thought of losing you i couldn’t take it
you know i don’t believe in god, sorry i’m faithless
but you better believe i was down on my knees every night for you prayin’
i even wished that we’d swap places so i could take your sickness from you
not even because of the fact, or degree to which i love you
see i read somewhere, that cancer’s short for “can’t survive”
i thought the world would lose less if i died because you’re a better man that i
all i’ve done is vandalize, while you’ve touched and enchanted lives
and god or whoever knew, because of all the prayers he answered mine
you’ve always been there for me, because you care for me
even through all the times that i’ve treated you terribly
and there’s no way i can pay you back
but the plan is to show you that i understand
dad you’re appreciated

[verse 2]
dear dad, i know it must be hard alone
trying to raise a bad kid like me on your own
i know that neither one of us are living lives that we chose
such is life i suppose, that’s just how it goes
but we try to make the best of it, then i make a mess of it
i’m sorry that i’m disrespectful, cold, and unaffectionate
but seeing that you’ve put up with me serves as a testament
to the fact that as a dad and friend, you’re the best there is
i cherish all the nights in which we watched the walking dead
and i can’t wait for netflix to catch up so we can watch again
in the meantime, we’ve always got under the dome
i know it’s not that good, but in your presence are the comforts of home
i always feel closer to you when we’re watching it
and that job search better go quick we’ll be better off but it’s going opposite
we both know that i haven’t been an honest kid
but i’m never lying when i talk about how awesome my father is
and know i’m grateful for everything you’ve done
i know sometimes it’s rough, but i’m so glad to be your son
becuse even through all the stupid fights, the arguments, and feuds at night
i know that you’re trying to teach me how to be a man and do what’s right
you’ve always tried to make me learn the difference between evil and good
and you’ve done so many things for me not a lot of people would
you welcomed me into your home when i had nowhere else to go
and ever since that day, you’ve put my needs above your own
i know that you don’t like rap, but i thought that talking on a track
would be the best way to say thanks for being my mom and dad
so that you can replay this song, and i know that i will too
to remind myself to be a man next time i cause an issue
so i hope you will accept this as an apology and tribute
because i know i hardly say it, but you are appreciated!
so, in closing, to my father and best friend
merry christmas pop, i love you ’till the end
because you’re my dad!
