Sins of the Father Lyrics by Alice’s Escape

2018

[Verse 1]
So many years ago in a kingdom by the sea
I remember the love of someone I never knew
If only you knew if only you knew
If only you knew what it was like to dream!
To dream within a dream well that’s paradise lost
Now they just call me a monster!
But I am just lost in the bodies of ghosts
Now they just call me the doctor’s mistake!
My birth just inspired!
Their desire!
For the fire!
The gallows, and the shallowness of their souls
Will just burn me away!
[Chorus]
No one can see you as anything but as the monster that you are
No, one, can free you from the voices of the scars
That that made you what you are
That keep you alive
They live through you, and in you
But is this really living at all
[Verse 2]
Father, oh father!
How could you bring me in this world to die!
I’m scarred, I’m broken!
You literally made me from damaged goods!
They hate me! They hate me! Father they hate me!
But I did nothing wrong!
Maybe I should bear up this crown they made
Just give in and become the monster they fear!
Feel their blood flow
Between my fingertips
Will that finally make you proud!
Or maybe, I should rip out every stitch
Return this body
To the bodies
From which I was born!
[Verse 3]
This hand belonged to a murder
This hand to a father of four
He tells me every day
He thought the afterlife would entail so much more
I can feel them all just wanting to take control
Really, I can’t blame them
After all
Who would have thought this would be their end
[Chorus]
No one can see you as anything but as the monster that you are
No, one, can free you from the voices of the scars
That that made you what you are
That keep you alive
They live through you, and in you
But is this really living at all
