Lyrics From Indian Lakes

From Indian Lakes

Our Father Is Missing

Though I look like a human I am lifeless, I assure you I am nothing at all

And when I try to be human my own flesh keeps me from doing a thing

And all I see are the faces of the people I've betrayed

And the ones who gave up at the sight of the fake that I've become

God, what a fake I've become

God, what a fake I've become

Who was I before this? Who am I now?

I am breathing, barely breathing

I am breathing, barely...

She can see right through me

And he can barely see me

I am a ghost but something less I'm sure

The items I carry are all I possess

And my hands have delivered less life than death

And my heart holds the ashes of the people that I've claimed over time

My eyes have seen people doing terrible things

But at night when I close them I can pretend you're extinct

And there's no one to remind me that God can see everything

That I have done

Oh God, what have I done?

Who was I before this? Who am I now?

I am breathing, barely breathing

I am breathing barely

And I've been living this way since the day that I was born

And I've been trying to change but I am so easily bored

By the idea of saying "thank you" and "how are you?" until I go to sleep

But I'd like to be loved and I'm trying my best

But the devil's inside me and he's coming out through my chest

And he is whispering in my ear that,

Everyone in the world would like you dead

My God what have we become?

We've fallen along the way and now were to heavy for you to pick up,

God I am only a boy

Whose mother tried to raise him right but father was only as

Strong as the world would allow

And now he's nowhere to be found
