"Man You Raised" lyrics

When days were bright, and I was young
You'd talk to me, say, "Hey, my son
The world only gets colder as you age"
Now so many nights have led me here
Thinking 'bout the things I fear
When will I finally get some fucking rest?

And just like whiskey going down
My throat burns just to speak out loud
Why cannot I not clear my own damn head?

But I'm alright, I'm okay
I will always be the man you raised
I know it's hard on the darkest days
But the moon could never steal your son away

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
All my love is set in stone
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa
And if I die, you get my throne

I'm sorry for the time I spent
On my own in this trench
I know it kills you that I am alone
But the boys out here won't let me die
And if it was my final night

I'd talk to you until I could not speak
Then with minutes left I'd crack a joke
Tell you about the songs I wrote
And pray that they live long after my time

But I'm alright, I'm okay
I will always be the man you raised
I know it's hard on the darkest days
But the moon will never steal your son away

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
All my love is set in stone
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa
And if I die, you get my throne

'Cause I'm alright, I'm okay
I will always be the man you raised
I know it's hard on the darkest days
But the moon can never steal your son away

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
All my love is set in stone
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa
And if I die, you get my throne
