lyrics

I was there that night
Waiting for the dark cloud to come
Trying to ignore the doubt
He was resting
After begging for more relief
In a coma of symphonies
I'd like to think
He went to meet God
To make sure we were taken care of

This can't keep me
From being the man you were to me
Never feeling anthing short of a miracle
In this dark pit of the world
Passing on your legacy

Now I'm stripped bare
Sick of my skin
And I'm done with my head
This cancer eats at him
As it sneeks
Through the halls of our home
A Father's pain is priced too high
Those months would never be enough

His side of the bed is still indented
From the love
That's bearing a hole to the floor
I can feel him amongst these rooms
Of grief and disbelief
Making his way
To the hearts of his family
Some were born to be fathers
You outshined it

This can't keep me
From being the man you were to me
Never feeling anthing short of a miracle
In this dark pit of the world
Passing on your legacy

Rest your eyes
You deserve it
We're never going to end this fight
But it's time
And I don't know if I'm ready
How could I be
There's nothing about this that is easy
Those seven pounds are still beating

Paralyze the hands on that clock
Before that last gasp is shot
Out of his lungs
But how selfish can I be
Live in suffering
Or die in peace
Let that breath be filled with love
Hold it in, hold it in

Cult leader has been an underrated great band. Heavy, intelligent. I saw them a couple times including this past year. Would hope they tour in 2024. Son Nguyen
