Dear mother, can you hear me? It seems I've not been myself lately Disturbing recollections Dark reflections crowd me so... Sometimes I hurt, so jaded So serrated I've become this Mere shadow of a man I hardly even know And I've felt your lifelessness And I've felt your emptiness And I've felt your weakness Tearing our ties as they crumble between us And I for one Won't sit here and stand for this no I for one Have been left alone with nowhere to go Dear father, can you see me? Begging for the love I've needed Cold hearted, you retreated I've reached that point again I'm bleeding And yet again I'm pleading Fallen to my knees I'm screaming For hope, a deeper meaning From this f**ing endless grieving
I for one Won't sit here and stand for this no I for one Have been left alone with nowhere to go I for one, I for one... I for one, I for one... Tell me that everything is alright Kiss my head and tell me sleep tight Tell me that everything is alright Kiss my head and tell me sleep tight Tell me that everything is alright Kiss my head and tell me sleep tight Tell me that everything is alright Kiss my head and tell me... And I've felt your lifelessness And I've felt your emptiness And I've felt your weakness Tearing our ties as they crumble I for one Won't sit here and stand for this no I for one Have been left alone with nowhere to go I for one, I for one... I for one, I for one...
