Avowal - Kilgore

You must promise you will

Never speak again of this to me

Mause 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, itЇ 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

ItЈl never be the way it was again

You couldn° see that I

Treated you just like a son

And if I held others just like you

ItЇ only because I

Created all men equal

I could never understand exactly why

You would spit into your loving fatherЇ eyes

Oh my father how am I

Supposed to say I¦ sorry?

Yes, itЇ 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° you know?

I just don° care

I could never be the one

Ever be your son

I could never be the father No

(I could never win)
