Take a look at me father Sitting right on the heights of despair Prematurely faithless, worn out, dead I ain't the proud man you swear I'd be The shadows I called friends Just paint myself into a corner And if it's as cruel as it may seem I'll cast the first stone before they make me fade (FADE) Cheating fate, Fighting out of boredom ‘til your spirit breaks (BREAKS) Is this worth the risk of living? Take my rage out Take my pain away
Sad are only those who understand Face the facts! I'll never drown in their damn old BURNING LIES “Boy you must put your fists down Resign yourself and let go” (BURNING LIES) Ain't nothing grand in this life But oppression and bad blood (BURNING LIES) Why should I love this world back While it pushes me off track (BURNING LIES) Father how can you breath, When you can't find strength to live UNLOVED, UNCHEKABLE?
