I Blame My Father

My mistakes, my sufferings, my shame
My regrets, but what for?
 
You mock, you reject it all
You sweep it all back
 
My memory, my story
Without a care, you bury my past
 
Tomorrow you'll ask why I didn't
see the traps
Caught up in these heinous affairs
 
The resentment, the fear, the misery
In the heart of this bitter love
 
Black nights, glorious woes
Fleeting pleasure
 
I might as well have been preaching to the desert, but
How can I silence myself?
 
The Earth turns as men do
to commit the same sins as our fathers
We still bite the same apple
and the snake dances while we lock ourselves away
in the mistakes of yesterday
 
To grow up, to be accomplished, and to escape
from this rut
 
In my shadow, in the rubble of hardship
You will find the light
 
You learn through my experiences, so
How can I silence myself?
 
The Earth turns as men do
to commit the same sins as our fathers
We still bite the same apple
and the snake dances while we lock ourselves away
in the mistakes of yesterday
 
I blame my father
 
The Earth turns as men do
to commit the same sins as our fathers
We still bite the same apple
and the snake dances while we lock ourselves away
 
The Earth turns around men
We must undo our inherent evil
By embracing our fathers
