How are you doing Father?
I haven’t spoken with you for a time.
I’m sorry if these words just don’t reach you,
or if in your bitter anger these words you find.
I understand a new start,
but don’t disregard all of our hearts
here at home.
The birds were singing to me in the morning.
It seems you heard the notes and walked away;
or did I?
Today hurts as much as tomorrow,
and yesterday I fell apart, crying with my truck in park.
But I’m alive.
I understand a new start,
but don’t disregard all of our hearts
here at home.

"Even though I'm only dust and sand,
I know that I could be a better man."
With every strike you will march on;
a soulless beat, a heart overcome.
And a battle steal the lives of men;
all for my sake, a victory won.
“No, I won’t march on,
I won’t carry you any longer.
I won’t march on,
I won’t carry you any longer.”
Oh, but you will;
you will.
Oh, but you will;
you will.
Oh, but you will;
you will.
Oh, but you will;
you will.
“No, I won’t march on,
I won’t carry you any longer.
I won’t march on,
I won’t carry you any longer.”

Do your thoughts
grow [dull],
deep into the night,
deep into the night?
As the sky
turns black,
and the stars hardly shine
deep into the night.
Or do you lie awake
with questions for the gods,
as the silent answers
loom beyond our thoughts?
Do you wonder if i do?
Do you wonder if i do?
When the monsters
beneath your bed
seem so real,
and a hand
reaches out
that you can feel,
but the light flickers on,
and all of them are gone,
well what then are you supposed to believe?
Are you all alone
deep into the night.
deep into the night?
Do you guard your heart
like you’ve something to hide,
deep into the night?
We walk around all day
with hidden scars,
like the nightmares
marching softly on our hearts.
Do you wonder if i do?
Do you wonder if i do?
When the monsters
beneath your bed
seem so real,
and a hand
reaches out
that you can feel,
but the light flickers on,
and all of them are gone,
well what then are you supposed to believe?

Haunted by your disbelief,
it’s bittersweet,
the taste of your grave.
You hold the earth to your chest,
in defense of emptiness;
forged in your name.
Save your own damn soul.
Break of dawn is coming soon;
sleepless nights, a restless moon
hiding its face.
What’s the sunrise say to you?
Clouds of red, burning through;
are you ashamed?
What’s in your favor, my love?
You toil all your days away,
but it never pays;
Are you awake?
As the sunlight stains the wall,
death is waiting for us all.
What is our fate?
What’s in your favor, my love?
What’s in your favor, my love?
Save your own damn soul.
Why don't you take what you want and go.
Save your own damn soul.
Why don't you take what you want and go.

Six long years i have chained myself to you.
There is little i could do to release these hands.
Behind my back they struggled for freedom.
Long since gone is the boy that i loved.
There was little left, but the breath in his lungs.
Life has a way of making ghosts out of all of us.
But death awaits us all, my love.
Death awaits us all.
O my ghost, are you even there?
These hidden scars my heart won't bear.
Where does our dividing line fall,
between dying inside and living at all?
O my ghost, whoever you haunt,
may this shell you've left pass on.
and to the one awaiting us all,
heed my prayer, and let me fall.
