Father Said

(앨범: I'd Rather Be Asleep - 2022)

Father said, father said
Father said, father said

I used to wake up tied in chains
Anchored down, bound to the floor
I could not escape my fate
There was no way out of that hole
Your pressure, a burden
Underneath the surface
I'll always resent and hold you in contempt

Now that I've grown up, I realize
I lived inside (I lived inside)
A web of lies (A web of lies)
Now that both my eyes are open wide
I see behind (I see behind)
Your disguise (Your disguise)

In my mind
The voices won't end
They repeat in my head
In my mind
I'm under a spell
He won't let me forget

For years I was locked in a cell
Pretending for your sake I was somebody else
Tormented for being myself
I came to terms with life in a personal hell

You tried to take what's mine
Your need to control
Will be your own demise
Lost in a world of illusions
Consumed by delusions
Alone with nowhere to go

Now that I've grown up, I realize
I lived inside (I lived inside)
A web of lies (A web of lies)
Now that both my eyes are open wide
I see behind (I see behind)
Your disguise (Your disguise)

In my mind
The voices won't end
They repeat in my head
In my mind
I'm under a spell
He won't let me forget

For years I was locked in a cell
Pretending for your sake I was somebody else
Tormented for being myself
I came to terms with life in a personal hell

For years I was locked in a cell
Pretending for your sake I was somebody else
Tormented for being myself
I came to terms with life in a personal hell

My father's calling me
And I can't turn away
He wants a word with me
But I won't get to speak
My father's calling me
To tell me I should change
He says it's best for me
But I don't feel the same
No
My father's calling me
No

My father's calling me
And I can't turn away
He wants a word with me
But I won't get to speak
My father's calling me
To tell me I should change
He says it's best for me
But I don't feel the same
My father's calling me
And I can't turn away
He wants a word with me
But I won't get to speak
My father's calling me
To tell me I should change
He says it's best for me
But I don't feel the same
