No Place of Rest
I've been having trouble sleeping at night
Thanks to constant fucking dreams of you swinging your fists
But your brilliance was the never-ending ambition
For slurring words and "I love you's" missed
Making a habit of meeting door-to-door "family friends"
While we learn to understand an empty pocket
We've seen the heart of the devil, we've seen the spirit in you
We've broken our backs at the feet of a life we never knew
I'm not afraid to die, but God if you can hear me
Where were you when I needed you most
Iron rage, liquid love
No Father to us
Broken home, broken trust
No Father to us
I'm taking my life back but the rust seems to last forever
I'm scraping the surface, but corrosion etches deeper and deeper
How can you hold yourself together with no name to carry on
Although I promised I won't be like him, I became this bastard's son
Redemption is just for the faithful and you cannot taste it
I wanna rid myself of you and your blasphemous blood
The colour of my heart, it changes from black to blue to green to yellow
I've been sleeping just fine thanks to a twelve step smile and a bed at the gallows
Is this all that I am; that I became this bastard's son
All you ever taught me was that I was sinking into stained glass
Every step of the way
I only hope you'll receive this message
We will be the Authors with our hearts
That will always outweigh your fear
Goodbye to
Iron rage, liquid love
I swear I'll never fucking be like you
Broken promise, broken trust
I became that bastard's son
Thanks to constant fucking dreams of you swinging your fists
But your brilliance was the never-ending ambition
For slurring words and "I love you's" missed
Making a habit of meeting door-to-door "family friends"
While we learn to understand an empty pocket
We've seen the heart of the devil, we've seen the spirit in you
We've broken our backs at the feet of a life we never knew
I'm not afraid to die, but God if you can hear me
Where were you when I needed you most
Iron rage, liquid love
No Father to us
Broken home, broken trust
No Father to us
I'm taking my life back but the rust seems to last forever
I'm scraping the surface, but corrosion etches deeper and deeper
How can you hold yourself together with no name to carry on
Although I promised I won't be like him, I became this bastard's son
Redemption is just for the faithful and you cannot taste it
I wanna rid myself of you and your blasphemous blood
The colour of my heart, it changes from black to blue to green to yellow
I've been sleeping just fine thanks to a twelve step smile and a bed at the gallows
Is this all that I am; that I became this bastard's son
All you ever taught me was that I was sinking into stained glass
Every step of the way
I only hope you'll receive this message
We will be the Authors with our hearts
That will always outweigh your fear
Goodbye to
Iron rage, liquid love
I swear I'll never fucking be like you
Broken promise, broken trust
I became that bastard's son
