father (Lyric) by girlandwords
i'm seeing something red
blur away my vision
could it be my words in hiding
finally being written
father it's been so long
i see how your life's discrepancies
creeps into your memory
and now you wave my laughter by
hoping money will fix your eyes
if you just
breathe
come and hope it eases
your backpains dry
just like how i learned to lie
i'm hearing something fall
from the shelves i've tucked away
we never said how much dust
can gather day by day
father it's been so long
my patience's gone to waste
my insticts came to stay
where i lay them down to rest
is where i've learned how to test
the meanings of trust
and expectations
if you just
breathe
i hope it eases
your muscle's pains
i'll give it back
with the apathy i've gained
i'm feeling something break
i'm feeling something break
i'm feeling something break
you've got nothing more to take
