Never Was Lyrics

We lost my dad

To a hungry root

It held our home for a ransom too high

He'd never have had me if he knew he'd die so young

If all there was

Is an empty room

With no pictures and no window glass

How would I know that I had a face at all

How could I know that I'd leave you all behind

And you were made to follow boy

Don't mistake your fears for a natural cool

And you were born without that scar

If you get too caught up it's gonna chance who you are

And so away my son

Into the never was

It's like the weight future growing out of control

How could I console when you made me a liar

How could I touch you when you're made outta fire

And you were born without that scar

If you get too caught up it'll change who you are

And you were made to follow boy

Don't mistake your fears for a natural cool

Someday I will tell you how I made it out alive

it occurred to me just as I was coming down the drive

How could I know that I'd leave you all behind

So what weighs more

To a dying man

Is it the teaching of lessons

Or the holding of hands

And is it such a waste

The keeping up that face

Let's die together and be rid of this place

You shoulda trusted me to be who I am
