American Standards - CancerEater lyrics

My father was a working man He worked all his life until he died He fought for everything he had I was the last to say goodbye The shadow is behind me At the the edge of every light Calm me down, this uncertainty Each day gives way to night I need noise, please give me noise Break the silence, fill the void I held my breath for hours Exhale And you end where I began We won’t ever meet again I’ll never know the answers to the questions left unsaid A weight I can’t shed pulls me down How much more must I give To realize what I have We’re taken hostage by the ones we love That leave us behind I can’t be tough as nails With this paper skin And organs that fail But life will moves on And I’ll go on too My father was a working man He worked all his life until he died He fought for everything he had I was the last to say goodbye My father was a working man He worked all his life until he died I lived like him I’ll die like him Remember me, remember
