I come from a genius, I am my father's son,
|
Yeah, too bad he was a psychopath and now I'm the next in line,
|
Loneliness, dear mother, yes, surely she's a work of art,
|
Might never got top dollar, but she gave us all a star.
|
|
Can I get a reprieve?
|
This gene pool don't hurt me.
|
Can I beg a release
|
From the volunteer amputee?
|
From the moment I fell
|
I called on DNA,
|
Why such betrayal
|
Got me tooth and nail.
|
|
Yeah, how's about one conversation with nothing else left to be had,
|
(Oh, is this) your young long lost son, and he's never had dear old dad,
|
I forget the insemination and for that I'm s'posed to be glad,
|
What a pity you left us so soon to climb your mountain of regret.
|
|
Can I get a reprieve?
|
This gene pool dark and deep.
|
Can I beg a release?
|
Can I volunteer amputee?
|
From the moment I fell
|
I called on DNA,
|
Why such betrayal?
|
Oh I gotta set sail.
|
|
Oh real bright light shining as you're trying to breathe in thin air,
|
Cannot forget you're hiding collected wounds left unhealed,
|
When every thought you're thinking sinks you darker than the new moon sky,
|
The faraway lights rising in the whites of your eyes.
|
|
Now father you're dead and gone and I'm finally free to be me,
|
Thanks for all your fucked up gifts for which I've got no sympathy,
|
I'm living in a walled-up place in the bounds of 5th symphony,
|
Thanks for this and thanks for that, I gotta let go, learn to see.
|
|
Can I get a reprieve?
|
This gene pool don't hurt me.
|
Can I beg a release?
|
Can I volunteer amputee?
|
From the moment I fell
|
I called on DNA,
|
Why such betrayal
|
Oh I gotta set sail.
