Father & Ghost

This is a pain, that just cannot be measured

Now I'm burning the candle at both ends

It’s been so long since I last saw daylight

Won’t someone give me a sign and lead me out of the dark

I have tried to put on a brave face, leave the past behind me

But it’s not so easy, when you’ve lost everything that used to believe in

Am I the solution, just part of the friction?

Won’t someone take me away from here, 'cause I need you now

And I’ll never forget, never forget, never forget the words he said

Sit with me for a little while, and don’t be nervous

'Cause I am not afraid of death

The light I saw fade from your eyes

Now I see the stars in the sky

And I know we’ll meet again someday

Just keep watching over me

This is a pain beyond comprehension

Endlessly lost in my own isolation

Yet you expect me to hold us together it all feels futile

The compass points to north, but we are so off course

So head straight for the belly of, belly of the beast

'Cause I’ve told you before

I am not afraid of death

I greet the reaper with open arms

Come forth my son, for I mean you no harm

I feel like I never told you, just what you mean to me

They say time will ease the passing, but time is all that I need

To tell you that I'm sorry, that I couldn’t be there at the end

I know this is what you wanted, so I’ll heed the words you said
