Kilgore Avowal Lyrics

Avowal Lyrics

You must promise you will 

Never speak again of this to me 

æ…?ause I could never look my son

In the eye and tell him 

Just exactly what his daddy did

With the souls of all the broken ones

I could never understand exactly why

You had feelings for these

Worthless human flies

And when I looked into your eyes

I felt

I felt broken

Yes, it抯 true

I wanted to be like you 

And yes, I knew

I could never be like you 

And I saw them kneeling there

To their God on his big throne

And I started to see you 

Shying away from all the angels

It抣l never be the way it was again 

You couldn抰 see that I 

Treated you just like a son

And if I held others just like you 

It抯 only because I 

Created all men equal

I could never understand exactly why 

You would spit into your loving father抯 eyes

Oh my father how am I

Supposed to say I抦 sorry?

Yes, it抯 true

I wanted to be like you

And yes, I knew

I could never be like you

And I saw them kneeling there

To their God on his big throne

And I started to see you 

Shying away from all the angels

I forgive you. Don抰 you know?

I just don抰 care

I could never be the one

Ever be your son

I could never be the father No

(I could never win)
