Lyrics for Sins Of The Father (Feat. Bon Iver)

Oh Lord, I bear this weight My mom and my daddy, upon me they've placed I have no words to say It's written there all over my face Oh Lord, perpetual pain I can't be at home where my father lays In time, we'll fade away Hopefully it's to the same place Father, You said You'd love me Like my own never could How could I ever thank Thee? You are good There is no one like You You gave Your life so I wouldn't have to Where there is one, there's two It's me and You I've got all this hate in my heart But I got no place to put it Tried to leave it behind, but I couldn't I need alchemical transmutation I need alchemical transmutation I've got all this pain in my heart But I got no place to put it Tried to leave it behind, but I couldn't I need alchemical transmutation I need alchemical transmutation, oh Dad was forgetful, he promised a lot Thankfully, he never got caught Passed it to me now, I finally can see Forgetting's a gift, thank you, God Forgot your birthday, I'm sorry, my dear At least my stance remains clear I'll forget your birthday, like every year Who gives a fuck anyways? Those are the sins of the father Those are the sins Sins, sins, sins (sins of the father) Turn around -, turn around
