Exquisite Corpse and Other Collaborations - 3. Sins of Our Fathers
A sensitive subject about the loss of absent fathers.
Memories of distant events
Too far gone now to relive
Still haunt the archives of innocence lost
Memories filed away in cabinets locked
Yet your specter ever tarries
My tears, never enough to move you
Father-figure was an unknown phrase
Only thought about in childhood dreams
Your absence was a blessing and a curse
You taught me what not to be
Lessons never to be forgotten
In spite of you, I grew into a man
They say the sins of the father
Are passed down to the son
But I am living proof of this fallacy
You chose to not be my father
Now you're the dust of my past
My future is where love and life lie
Thank you for reading.
