[MANNEQUIN]
Past the world
Past the night
Past the stars where seabirds fly
Past your dreams to toil and shore
Where we will meet again once more
[JOHN O'BRIEN]
I sat beside your bed
On the night before I left
While you slept I had my say
I know I had some drinks
But I explained you everything
About why I couldn't stay
My anger and my grief
Liquor, pain, and broken dreams
I was no good for you babe
They offered me a way to quench my thirst for blood and rage
And so daddy went away
Your daddy went away
Your daddy went away
The hole in which I fell didn't want for you as well
So daddy went away
I became the hand of karma
Of wrath and fire and fodder
The terror in their night
The monster in the basement
The ogre of damnation
And the man inside died
But then one day the rage was all gone and what remained
Was a chasm in my chest
The only thing that mattered
The child I turned my back on
The girl I should have kept
But daddy left
Daddy left
Your daddy left
The things that I have done
The wrath that I have wrung
The widows who have wept
The beast that I've become
The judgment and the blood
You must forget
Or be crippled by regret
Your daddy left
Your daddy left
Your daddy left
Your mother was my life
My heart and soul and wife
She blew up and was gone
I didn't know how to go on
I didn't know how to exit

Past the world
Past the night
Past the stars where seabirds fly
Past your dreams to toil and shore
Where we will meet again once more
[JOHN O'BRIEN]
I wish for your forgiveness
I wish the past was different
I wish I would have known
I wish for stars and sails
Pipe dreams and fairy tales
But atome and time has flown
And if somewhere you hate me
And your memories of me faded
And resentment is all you know
You can take some consolation
That at the sad end of his days
Daddy will die all alone
Daddy will die all alone
There's no one else that's that left
Just this room and war and d**h
Your daddy's all alone
