Illumine

Father forgive me
For I have sinned
Do you remember all the times I couldn't let you in?
I needed the space to fill these hollow lungs again
A lost soul helplessly drifting away

Follower why are you drifting away?
Your soul the glow that you had
Never to be the same
There was a time when your arms were pure
But I can't replace these tears
Left here to face all his fears

I just couldn't process the thought
Upon discovering my hero was gone
The space you left will never feel warm again
Warm again

Take hold of what you love and never let it go
I can hear their screams and I feel so alone
And I've been thinking of a way to let you know
That I don't think I can do this on my own

You're gone and I never got the chance to say
Everything I've ever wanted and what you mean to me
All I could offer was a kiss and goodbye
Here's what I need to say
With the reasons why

A boy without his father is like a traveler without the stars to guide the way
So please just stay

Take hold of what you love
And never let it go
And I've been thinking I can't do this on my own
I can't do this on my own

For years and years trying to get by
Being the one that makes your proud
I hope you made it to the sky
Such a bittersweet feeling consumes me
All I hope is that you got your piece of paradise
And my father I called out for you
But you weren't there to wipe my tears
Through the darkest night
My worst fears
Without a single trace you left me
The shadows are my own fears
The reflection of the worst man
Buried and broken
Broken apart
I stand before with a trembling heart
Trembling heart
