Sins Of The Father (Feat. Bon Iver)

Oh Lord, I bear this weight
My mom and my daddy, upon me they′ve placed
I have no words to say
It’s written there all over my face
Oh Lord, perpetual pain
I can′t be at home where my father lays
In time, we’ll fade away
Hopefully it’s to the same place
Father, You said You′d love me
Like my own never could
How could I ever thank Thee?
You are good
There is no one like You
You gave Your life so I wouldn′t have to
Where there is one, there’s two
It′s me and You

I’ve got all this hate in my heart
But I got no place to put it
Tried to leave it behind, but I couldn′t
I need alchemical transmutation
I need alchemical transmutation
I’ve got all this pain in my heart
But I got no place to put it
Tried to leave it behind, but I couldn′t
I need alchemical transmutation
I need alchemical transmutation, oh

Dad was forgetful, he promised a lot
Thankfully, he never got caught
Passed it to me now, I finally can see
Forgetting’s a gift, thank you, God
Forgot your birthday, I’m sorry, my dear
At least my stance remains clear
I′ll forget your birthday, like every year
Who gives a fuck anyways?

Those are the sins of the father
Those are the sins
Sins, sins, sins (sins of the father)
Turn around -, turn around
