Lyrics
The Father I Go
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All washed out from lack of sleep
And promises I can't keep
So God damned tired I can barely talk
All I've gathered together is all I've lost
The farther I go the further back I get
The farther I go the further back I get
The farther I go the further back I get
The farther I go
Burning bridges I'll never cross
Never understanding that kind of cost
Touched on this and I stepped on that
Got no mind to deal with that kind of crap
The farther I go the further back I get
The farther I go the further back I get
The farther I go the further back I get
The farther I go
In a fog so thick it hurts to breathe
I find that coming a capacity
Following steps I recognize
Going in direction I despise
The farther I go the further back I get
The farther I go the further back I get
The farther I go the further back I get
The farther I go
