Father Hunger Lyrics by The Forum

Illuminate

2017

What can you do when your heart's in jail
What can you do when you can't post bail
And locked, you rot within a cell
It feels a lot like this is hell
You're starving for approval but the judge ain't there
You're longing for removal, pulling out your hair
You're waiting for the patience and your mom is too
No damage done, no danger in a rendezvous
But please take care of you
What can you do when your dad's in jail
What can you do when your mom's not there
What can you do when you're upside down
But sleep / keep / breathe this bitter air above the ground, because
You're starving for approval but the judge ain't there
You're longing for removal, pulling out your hair
You're waiting for the patience and your mom is too
No damage done, no danger in a rendezvous
But please take care
Please take care of you
Take care of you
Take care
Your hands, your hands reach out in thin air
And strand by strand, you're pulling out your hair
Because you're starving
And your dad's not there
You're waiting for your father and your mom is, too
But don't forget the danger in a rendezvous
And please take care
Please take care of you
