October Skies - Father Lyrics

I crawled out of hell to make sure
That I am still alive
My arms are ripped to shreds
The floor is stained in red

In my mind
I will never be, loved
In my mind
I will never be, real

As his fist collapse against my skull
I felt his hand wrap around my neck
I lost my grip on the thing that makes me sane
I lost my life to the hands of a father

I am not content
With the way you lie
I do not consent
To a lifeless life

I feel him slam his fist against my chest
As I collapse against the wall behind me
Beat my head against the wall
To make sure I never tell a soul

Keeping me from breathing again
Making sure I know you're the only one
That can help even though you don't want to
I know you'd kill me if the choice was yours

Why am I
Taking all the rage inside
Why am I
Letting you do this to me
Why am I
Still alive
Why am I
Still alive

I am not content
With the way you lie
I do not consent
To a lifeless life

I am strong
I am here
I am me
I am nothing
