waterhouse – like all good things lyrics

Loading...

i was left a fragile man
whose name became “inadequate”
i witnessed tragedy
and casualty not my own
so pr-ne to marvel at hollow bones
i want to go where the flowers don’t grow
and my efforts don’t show
and the lepers hate the snow
everyone pretends they want their loved ones to come back to life
i thrive on what never gets said
i wish i’d died there
i wish i’d followed her to the ground

now he’s gone, he left me to my own devices
it’s all wrong, i’ll hold my breath when the water rises
taker, he took her, father, the k!ller
i’m forgetting what it feels like to feel her

now she’s gone, with no warning she was taken away
and her memory fades with each p-ssing day
i’ve got no one, no one left for me
i’ll go to and fro and won’t let go until i bleed

i am the son of none
i weep with the willows and bleed with the sun
i ran as far as i could
to ride with the rebels and dine with the wolves
i can’t escape my fate
i run nonetheless i avoid pain as if it’s the plague

oh conqueror
why did you lay siege to her
i know ease no more
not since murderous war

oh thief of peace
why did you take her from me
i’ve no repose left
not since murderous theft

oh twisted judge
why did she deserve your grudge
i’ve no fear of flaw
not since murderous law

oh bitter death
why did you take away her breath
i can’t look above
not since murderous love

i know someday all of this will end
i know someday i shall live again
i know someday i’ll see where i’ve been
i know it’s coming i just don’t when

i know somewhere i’ll find what i lost
i know somewhere i’ll forget the cost
i know somewhere my sins will be washed
i know it’s out there i just have to cross

i know something’s wrong inside my head
i know something’s taken reason’s stead
i know something’s better left unsaid
i’m not alright inside i feel dead

i know someone’s watching over me
i know someone’s got to set me free
i know someone’s not who i will be
i know someone’s not who i will be

i am not

i am not the same man as him
i will be better, i will be so much more
he took her in cold blood
if he destroys, i instead will restore
fruit never falls too far from the tree
not when man decides it’s his own to take
i will be his very opposite
what he destroys, i shall deign to save

i’m sure you know all of what it is to be saved
i’ve learned to hate the night, and i fear the coming day
so now i walk the path that my father surely paved
but i’m not interested in roads, i’m just looking for the way

i’d likely turn around if it were up to you
i’ve always hated change, you can blame it on my youth
there’s hints all around me, but i’m in no need of clues
i’m not interested in answers, i’m just looking for the truth

everything’s so much clearer in hindsight
i looked to the ground and beheld a rusted knife
i know i’m in a tunnel, and at the end there’s a light
but i’m not interested in hope, i’m just looking for the life

wandering, could this sun be any hotter
i could end it now, but why should i even bother
i grow thirsty, but never again will i touch water
i’m not interested in joy, i’m just looking for my father
