About the Artist

Camouflage

Lyrics

Dad

[Verse 1: Marcus Meyn]

You're feeling older

Then ever before

And apple-pie order

Exists no more

But he's sending you to school

Following a common rule

Frightened by the implications

Follow by indication

[Pre-Chorus: Marcus Meyn]

Voices whisper inside your head

No one will believe

'Cause he's your dad

'Cause he's your dad

[Chorus: Marcus Meyn]

And at night

He came and tried

To take your light

And at night

He came and tried

To take your light

You were not even fourteen

[Verse 2: Marcus Meyn]

Weaping lonesome

There's no one to tell

That he came

And broke the shell

Bodies land covered with lava

Makes you feel like a cadavre

Wish to touch the sky

Only once before you die

[Pre-Chorus: Marcus Meyn]

Voices whisper inside your head

No one will believe

'Cause he's your dad

'Cause he's your dad

[Chorus: Marcus Meyn]

And at night

He came and tried

To take your light

And at night

He came and tried

To take your light

You were not even fourteen

You were not even fourteen

You were not even fourteen

[Interlude]

[Chorus: Marcus Meyn]

And at night

He came and tried

To take your light

And at night

He came and tried

To take your light

You were not even fourteen

You were not even fourteen

You were not even fourteen

[Coda: Marcus Meyn]

You were not even fourteen, yeah

You were not even fourteen, yeah

You were not even fourteen, yeah

Yeah, you were not even fourteen, yeah
