Avowal Lyrics

Kilgore Avowal

You must promise you will
Never speak again of this to me
慍ause I could never look my son
In the eye and tell him
Just exactly what his daddy did
With the souls of all the broken ones
I could never understand exactly why
You had feelings for these
Worthless human flies
And when I looked into your eyes
I felt
I felt broken
Yes, it抯 true
I wanted to be like you
And yes, I knew
I could never be like you
And I saw them kneeling there
To their God on his big throne
And I started to see you
Shying away from all the angels
It抣l never be the way it was again
You couldn抰 see that I
Treated you just like a son
And if I held others just like you
It抯 only because I
Created all men equal
I could never understand exactly why
You would spit into your loving father抯 eyes
Oh my father how am I
Supposed to say I抦 sorry?
Yes, it抯 true
I wanted to be like you
And yes, I knew
I could never be like you
And I saw them kneeling there
To their God on his big throne
And I started to see you
Shying away from all the angels
I forgive you. Don抰 you know?
I just don抰 care
I could never be the one
Ever be your son
I could never be the father No
(I could never win)
