Patriarch
Gotta be strong, better be on time
Don't disappoint have to toe the line
Never show you're weak have to be the best
Standing up straighter than all the rest
Can't show emotion, need to be a man
Never show no quit and sticking to your plan
Days end, collapse, lean back, reload
Pressure builds, fate sealed, pin drops, explode
Don't know myself from me
Won't let me be - Too tired to see
Don't know myself from me
Retreat
Head of a table to feed
Won't let me free - meant to concede
Don't know myself from me
I'm punching in the dark
Reluctant patriarch
Set the example gotta be the boss
Years are gonna pass before you know the cost
Scratch and claw, rise and fall a big success
Climb the corporate ladder while your dreams regress
Cover all your wounds without need for console
Fix the car and mow the lawn fulfill your role
Take your pills to do it all, you cannot fail
Well bred, well fed the perfect male
Don't know myself from me
Won't let me be - Too tired to see
Don't know myself from me
Retreat
Head of a table to feed
Won't let me free - meant to concede
Don't know myself from me
I'm punching in the dark
Reluctant patriarch
Working so hard always give so much
Get a chance to catch your breath, you're out of touch
All those days gone you'll never get them back
Stress wrecked body mind barely intact
Hardly know your kids and your wife's adrift
Looking back on a life that you've just missed
Old and grey, bygone days, you've lost control
Who you are who you were a true asshole
Don't know myself from me
Won't let me be - Too tired to see
Don't know myself from me
Retreat
Head of a table to feed
Won't let me free - meant to concede
Don't know myself from me
I'm punching in the dark
Reluctant patriarch
Myself from me
Reluctant patriarch
Myself from me
Reluctant patriarch
Myself from me
Reluctant patriarch
Myself from me
Reluctant patriarch
Myself from me
Reluctant patriarch
Myself from me
Reluctant patriarch
Myself from me
Reluctant patriarch
Myself from me
Reluctant patriarch
Don't disappoint have to toe the line
Never show you're weak have to be the best
Standing up straighter than all the rest
Can't show emotion, need to be a man
Never show no quit and sticking to your plan
Days end, collapse, lean back, reload
Pressure builds, fate sealed, pin drops, explode
Don't know myself from me
Won't let me be - Too tired to see
Don't know myself from me
