I For One

Dear mother, can you hear me?

It seems I've not been myself lately

Disturbing recollections

Dark reflections crowd me so...

Sometimes I hurt, so jaded

So serrated I've become this

Mere shadow of a man

I hardly even know

And I've felt your lifelessness

And I've felt your emptiness

And I've felt your weakness

Tearing our ties as they crumble between us

And I for one

Won't sit here and stand for this no

I for one

Have been left alone with nowhere to go

Dear father, can you see me?

Begging for the love I've needed

Cold hearted, you retreated

I've reached that point again I'm bleeding

And yet again I'm pleading

Fallen to my knees I'm screaming

For hope, a deeper meaning

From this fucking endless grieving

I for one

Won't sit here and stand for this no

I for one

Have been left alone with nowhere to go

I for one, I for one...

I for one, I for one...

Tell me that everything is alright

Kiss my head and tell me sleep tight

Tell me that everything is alright

Kiss my head and tell me sleep tight

Tell me that everything is alright

Kiss my head and tell me sleep tight

Tell me that everything is alright

Kiss my head and tell me...

And I've felt your lifelessness

And I've felt your emptiness

And I've felt your weakness

Tearing our ties as they crumble

I for one

Won't sit here and stand for this no

I for one

Have been left alone with nowhere to go

I for one, I for one...

I for one, I for one...
