Daniel Caesar Sins Of The Father (feat. Bon Iver)
[Part I]
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Father, You said You'd love me
Like my own never could
How could I ever thank Thee?
You are good
[Verse 4]
There is no one like You
You gave Your life so I wouldn't have to
Whеre there is onе, there's two
It's me and You
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Refrain]
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, oh
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Part II]
[Verse 1: Daniel Caesar]
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
[Verse 2: Daniel Caesar]
Forgot your birthday, I'm sorry, my dear
At least my stance remains clear
I'Il forget your birthday like every year
Who gives a f..ck anyways?
[Outro: Justin Vernon]
Those are the sins, of the father
Those are the sins
Sins, sins, sins, sins of the father
Turn around
Turn around
Oh, child of mine
