lyrics

Father, my memory’s like sepia
I see you standing tall
I see in you what I wanted to be
I see how your life became a tragedy

You saw yourself start to age
You weren’t ready to be old
You gave in to ego, you gave in to lust
In the end you betrayed all our trust

But I understand
There’s nothing to be done about it now

Because I feel that fool stir in me
I know I could do it too
I know I could tear everything to shreds
And make nothing of the life she’s led

There’s two kinds of examples
The one you follow and the one you don’t
The one sets you on a new course
The one that breaks the chain of sorrow

And I understand
You were weak, and so am I

But I can try
