Lyrics

A F A T H E R S W I S H By: Shawn Petrie (11/9/00) Performed by: August Will Decay Loaded Knife Records (2015) (Verse) As a father lye dying Alone and in his bed He remembers back to a time When awful things were said Scared and broken hearted Looking back on the past Trying to find the day he let go And lost control of the mast (Chorus) A feeling he is not so used to Is creeping back up inside Today he felt a burning regret And it hurt enough to make him cry (Verse) His family has gone away There nowhere to be found Because he had just left them Like garbage on the ground He has no more friends No one left who seems to care He looks into the shadows But there isn’t anybody there (Chorus) Back so many years ago Would have been the time To try to heal old memories But he was locked inside his mind (Verse) And as he lay there dying He worries about his soul How could god except a man Who has been so mean and cold? A few short breaths away From the one which will be his last And with his last few moments He continues to dig in the past (Chorus) Children playing in a time of light Before the storm of rage Before the lies and before the pain Inflicted on the ones in his cage (Verse) A raised hand to end it all A forced perspective on life A need ignored and misled Left frozen out in the night He now can see the reasons He is dying alone and old It’s due to the fact that to his own blood He was so cruel and cold (Chorus) He closes his eyes to the world And gives up on the worry God knows he is just a man Who made mistakes, and now he’s sorry (Chorus) A cold silence fills the air He thinks about the moments he missed To say good bye to his only son Is his final wish (Bridge) He stares up at the ceiling One last tear falls on the bed And with a final shutter The memory fades and he is dead (Solo-out) Written, recorded, and performed by August Will Decay (Shawn D.
