Dreams of Our Fathers

I’m choking I’m choking

On the smoke from this burning house

I claw and I scrape

But I can’t seem to get out oh

But who the who is this

That’s scratching from the ground

It’s my world too

But who’s gold is this I’m digging out

When we go where we go

When we’re dead

Is the verdict still out

Do we get into line

To line up with those long dead now

With muffled tears of sorrow

For bones underground

This is our time yes it is

Without or with this shadow of doubt

Don’t want to wake up

Lost in the dreams of our fathers

It’s such a waste child

To live and die for the dreams of our fathers

Though I must confess yes

My dreams are a wonder about this

This love I possess love

Must be the dreams of our fathers

I wanna go I wanna run

We turn and so sure someone’s looking down

It’s haunting me haunting me

Leaves us here to get out

Though I don’t believe I don’t believe

This flavor in my mouth

Is from my tongue alone

So bitter I wanna spit it out

I repeat these words

They come out

Under the blue light in this sky

My empty pages are filling up

With these wicked lies

But I hear deep in myself

An echo and echo

Of empty empty emptiness

Comes up and swells inside

I don’t want to wake up

Lost in the dreams of our fathers

It’s such a waste child

To live and die for the dreams of our fathers

Though I must confess yes

My views are a wonder about this

This love I possess love

It must be the dreams of our fathers

Rain on my head

Rain on my head

Rain on me

Can give this up

Rain on my life

Again and again

Why can’t I dream this away from me

Look at you look at you find new

Bloated floating

Go belly down

Belly up in the water

But who is this here that drowned

We followed a drunken man

Got us spinning round

But it’s like he swallowed himself

And didn’t leave us a way out

I don’t want to wake up

Lost in the dreams of our fathers

It’s such a shame child

To live and die for the dreams of our fathers

Though I must confess yes

My view is a wonder about this

This love I possess love

It must be the dreams of our fathers

This love I posses love

It must be the dreams of our fathers

This love I posses love

It must be the dreams of our fathers

This love I posses love

It must be the love of our fathers
