July Talk Certain Father Lyrics
i could see it in her face
a hit + run
under an ocean sun
she thought i knew “he was not the only one”
but a purist’s mind in judgement is a funny thing
don’t need to try when the ice gets thin
i just sigh and hold it in
said she wanted all of something (you can)
overlooked, he feels forgotten (hear it)
up the river, screaming profane, he says
closer certain father
feel the stillness dying
river current lying
screaming coward
it was a hit + run
can’t take his place, he’s a setting sun
under the gun he’ll try to prove he is not the lonely one
father shows his teeth when he’s on the run
don’t need to lie when you just pretend it was never yer intent
sinking deeper, manic creature
a hollow trope, an empty preacher
squirming falling you can hear it
whisper
closer certain father
feel the stillness dying
river current lying
screaming coward
it was a hit + run
as i try to compromise
you can hear it
crying naked, i begin to let the water win
cause i can’t hold you in
closer certain father
he’s a setting sun
and yer not the only one
