lyrics

I’ve become afraid of my father the sky
Self fulfilling prophecies and dreams of getting high

I’ve become afraid of my father the sky
Self fulfilling prophecies and dreams of getting high

Smoking menthol cigarettes Danesbury hospital
When you went away it meant nothing at all.
Only wanted to see you once again

Only wanted to see you once again
Only wanted to see you once again
Only wanted to see you
Once again

Thank you for seeing me turning my light on
I’d begun to wonder where the love had gone
Where the love had gone

Only wanted to save you save you from the pain
I heard myself cry out “I can’t do this again”
Again again again

Only wanted to save you once again
Only wanted to save you from the pain
Only wanted to save you
Once again

Only wanted to see you once again
Only wanted to see you once again
And the violence and the silence and the shame
I feel crushed and breathless from the pain
Only wanted to see you once again
Only wanted to see you once again
Only wanted to see you
Once again
