"Sins Of The Father" lyrics

"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

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

Oh, child of mine
