Helps if you listen to some older Metallica, to get into the flow I think. Particularly off Reload or The Black Album. "Mama Said" would be a good analog, but definitely not quite right. I don't think they (Metallica) have a single song that would fit to this one, but I definitely would sing this in a voice similar to James Hetfield. Aaaanyway... here's the show, kids. As usual with my writing, there's mention of alcohol. Mature content warning included for that reason.

And everything I've made
I've thrown it all away
These hands broken and stained
For every gift I gave
No remedy to what I see
I've nothing left to pay

Every road I used to tread
Grown cold from dreams left for dead
And every bottle on the shelf
I can no longer help myself

These ghosts will not remain memories
Invade my waking thoughts with ease
Whisper my every failed attempt
Laugh with such cruel contempt
[Rising intensity]
I can't forgive the man I've been
Can't forget the things I did
Can't drink away this broken home
Can't sleep until I'm left alone

And everything I've made
I've thrown it all away
These hands broken and stained
For every gift I gave
No remedy to what I see
I've nothing left to be

So heavy now the weight I wear
For every promise I did swear
For every word I meant to say
Grows heavier on me each day
[Rising intensity]
With this last bottle I tie the noose
Finally let these demons loose
Grown tired of what I cannot repair
Grown sick of suffering my fair share

I'll take everything I've made
I'll thrown it all away
These hands broken and torn
For every burden I have borne
No paradise do I see
There'll be no forgiveness for a man like me
