lyrics

Father
would have left if I were you
you know me and the truth
play for different sides

concerning your lost lambs
me and my best friend
lifted the grayish hinge
that kept them all inside

we kept them up drinking all night
we made sure they had no place to hide

under a darker hue
in cotton balls and elmers glue
we hid our teeth from you
maybe you always knew

a better son
god how I've tried that one
but that's when the girls they come
and drag me along

and I end up so far away from you
father, I'm a sinner, carry me through

were you lost
when you were young
just tell me the boy I am
could be you if he grew up

and did you scare
like little boys can
I swear if I grew legs
I'd be a mountain of a man

now I know
you didn't want to bury me early
now I see
you just didn't want to bury me

now I know
you didn't want to bury me early
now I see
you just didn't want to bury me


a better son
god have I tried that one
but you know the west was won
with five fingers clinched

I can feel the fire in my hand
how can something so beautiful kill a man
