lyrics

I rolled a six so you could start
But that doesn't mean I'm done
I have a future, present, past
The same as you my son
Behold these cracked and calloused hands
The signs of lessons learned
So wait your turn to seize the torch
Or get your fingers burned

Fuck the natural order of things
I'll teach you to fly while clipping your wings
Witness my paternal decree
To live your life vicariously through me

I lay the tracks for you to follow
Or branch off on your own
I light the way and cast a shadow
I am no rolling stone
Setting examples good and bad
And I'll continue on
Resisting time and slow decline
A fleshed out skeleton

Fuck the natural order of things
I'll teach you to fly while clipping your wings
Witness my paternal decree
To live your life vicariously through me

Surrender the fire that burns in my hands
A white dwarf conceding its light to the dead
Spitting out vulture bones I'll make my stand
I'll bite till they pull the last tooth from my head

Fuck the natural order of things
I'll teach you to fly while clipping your wings
Witness my paternal decree
To live your life vicariously through me
