The Coming of Age - Landscapes

I cradle my father as he falls to his knees,

he felt that burden of upset that always hangs over me.

Even I know forever’s so long when life won’t wait.

Subdued to the years for all our last of what’s left

he said the judgement of sorrow will make a man of you yet,

so I’ll be standing by whilst all along you waste away.

It takes the courage to suffer he said you can’t even see,

he saw the man stood before him that he

once used to be, speak your mind, even if your voice starts to shake.

I put my ears to the ground and listen out for the rain,

I can hear the thunder call from memory lane

As it all starts crumble, I still wonder what tomorrow will bring.

So hang your head, and carry the weight of the world,

like the day it was burned, with trustless eyes.

Just hang your head, and carry the weight of the world,

like the day it was burned, with trustless eyes…

And try to forget.

I hear there’s presence of spirit when trying hard to believe

but how can you put your faith in something you’ve never seen,

cause when you die you just die,

over everything said, will you lie to yourself or will you know that your…

So hang your head, and carry the weight of the world,

like the day it was burned, with trustless eyes

Just hang your head, and carry the weight of the world,

like the day it was burned, with trustless eyes…

And try to forget.

Just try to forget.

I know you’re trying to forget (I know you try to forget)

I know you try to forget (Just try to forget)

So close your eyes, embrace the coming of age,

sing me back to sleep and just fucking forget.
