Father, you told me not to tell lies I remember that day because I saw that light in your eyes You looked at me, I looked back at you You spoke simple words I knew to be true
But something threw me off course Distracted by change I forgot those words Now I’m using a lens to look at the world I know that I’m sick and I can’t find the cure
Father, you told me not to tell lies So why do I act like I’m so fucking normal? Why do I say what they want me to say? These temporal fears have eroded my heart For far too long, for far too long Now with trembling lips I’ll cast them away I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees
