lyrics

Dear dad,
there’s still so much to say.
There’s still this debt you have yet to repay.
You’re consumed with guilt,
and can you see?
A wandering boy,
chained to the mast,
of a sinking family.
A son,
undone.
And you project yourself .
Your shortcomings, and wrong turns.
All your losses and your struggles,
tear at me like vultures claws.
Well I fight my failures.
And I’m just looking to see some light,
From under your shadow.
And I swear I’ve always just been trying,
and all this growing up,
has just felt like dying.
Dear dad I’ve been meaning to tell you:
men break,
men fail,
men bleed,
and men fall.
When there’s no one to walk,
in the foot steps of god.
Dear dad I’ve been meaning to tell you:
I break,
I fail,
I bleed,
And I fall,
when you words string me up by the throat.
My resent grows,
And our silence stays.
Further and further
every fucking day.
The cocktails made,
to quell the fire deep inside my heart.
Full of medication,
false education,
have only ripped us apart.
The places we come from
build who we are.
The places we run from,
don’t have to leave scars.
The places we come from,
build who we are.
The places we run from,
don’t have to leave scars.
