My Dad Is Dead все тексты (слова) песен, переводы, видео, клипы

I built a shrine to you
Sacrificed my will
Offered up my needs
Swallowed bitter pills

I carved a niche for you
Deep inside my heart
Wrote a glorious script

I swear to God that no son of mine
Is gonna make a joke out of his family honour
There are some things that are just sacred
Can't be questioned
The are some lines that you just can't step over ever (x2)

Never ever forget who you are
Never ever forget how you got there

Don't look now,
but time is creeping up on you
like an old forgotten song.
Before long you'll be wonderin'
how you could have let it all fly by
and the pieces that you try
to reassemble don't fit now.
So don't look now,

Change is dropped on our heads,
A ton of bricks, a house of lead.
An it weighs on our backs
As it makes some of us crack.

Well... I love to watch the wheels
Ever turning in non-stop revolution.
I love to see history in the making.

I’m gonna follow that dream to the ends of the earth I’m gonna track it down.

Put it in a cage to keep it safe for the day I’ll need to have it around.

So I can look at it and say that it hasn’t died.

I had a dream full of tired old cliches.
People saying "I love you" out loud
standing in the middle of large crowds.

And I was not afraid.
And I was not ashamed.

I never wanted to wake up

There is nothing that could tear us apart.
There is nothing that could weaken my heart.
There is no one that could take me away.
I am with you until the end of my days.

And the worst thing that could happen, won't be bad enough.
And the saddest thing that could happen, won't be sad enough.
And the weight of the whole world, won't be strong enough.

You don't like that place. Why did you go there?
Last night you were so annoyed. Why did you go there?
The atmosphere is stale and the people are unfriendly.
And the sound is always bad, and you walk out feeling had.

Let's buy a bar. We can give it a cool name.
Start the shows at eight so nobody goes home late.
Let's be DIY, a private place for you and I

You better watch out for that man.
He’ll dig into your soul, deep down
And he’ll hold you like a vise
Squeezing out your will
Drop by drop no resistance.
And he’s grabbing your heart and he’s shaking shaking shaking
And it just won’t stop
Your shaking just won’t stop.

This morning I felt like I was going insane
Something had a lock on my brain , and I couldn't find the key

This morning I felt like I had left something behind
And you know i couldn't find a reason why, I didn't have the time

This morning I felt like nothing mattered anymore
But I knew I've felt this way before, if never quite so sure

Someday on Sunday I watched you sleeping in the dark.
I am touched by the silence of your breath.
And I smile to myself.

The only thing keeping me awake is the presence of the fear.
I am crushed by the weight of it's breadth.
And I cry to myself.

She killed that boy
And threw his body in the garbage
Down the hall

She lived with it
Felt like it was nothing really special
At all

There you are, buried in made up
Either Speak up or don't take up my time.
I don't want to see entertainment
Masquerading as something it's not
I don't want to hear speculation
Obfuscation, opinion as fact
I'm not interested in complications
Expectations that are lower than dirt

There's a pain in my eyes that comes from looking.
Looking at the ground, looking at the buildings on the ground
Looking at the people in the buildings.

Watching their lips move and they read each other's minds
They must because they say the same things over and over all day long.

Saw the world in a dream
And woke up feeling cheated
In what turned out to be an ordinary room
My massive tragedy defeated
And all the power of emotion that had gripped me
Had drained out into black silence
Still I could hear the buses running on schedule
Two hours into the new day

What I've learned, after 40 years of living, is I've got a lot to learn.
I've been burned. But maybe there's good reason, some penance that I've earned.
What I know, after 40 years of living, is there's always more to know.
I have tried, I can't stop the world from moving. I can't even move myself.
There are stories left untold, stories left unheard, stories left to write.
I'm not going to quit because the world expects me to.
I won't go down without a fight.

Sorry for the way
I treated you today
I was out of my head
I'll admit it

Sorry for the hard time
I gave to you today
I had a bug up my ass

Doctor I've been thinking
That maybe this drinking
Is talking it's toll

Doctor I've been feeling
That panicky feeling
Of losing control

Have I ever given you the chance to say no
Did I ever listen when you said, when you said no? No.
Did I ever finish what I started that day, was it okay
Do you ever think that it can never be too late, is it too late?

I'm afraid that I've lost, lost my mind
I'm afraid that I've run out of time

She waits down by the water's edge.
She dreams of a simpler time.
She waits down by the water's edge.
She dreams of a simpler time.
I couldn't watch. I couldn't walk away.
I couldn't give. I couldn't give it up.

She waits for an explanation.

I've got the world on a string in my back pocket
And you ain't gonna get it from me

My head is screwed down like a lightbulb in it's socket
And ain't getting nothing from me

I am right, you are wrong, end of conversation
I don't want to hear anymore
