Dear mother, can you hear me?
It seems I've not been myself lately
Disturbing recollections
Dark reflections crowd me so...
Sometimes I hurt, so jaded
So serrated I've become this
Mere shadow of a man
I hardly even know

And I've felt your lifelessness
And I've felt your emptiness
And I've felt your weakness
Tearing our ties as they crumble between us

And I for one
Won't sit here and stand for this no
I for one
Have been left alone with nowhere to go

Dear father, can you see me?
Begging for the love I've needed
Cold hearted, you retreated
I've reached that point again I'm bleeding
And yet again I'm pleading
Fallen to my knees I'm screaming
For hope, a deeper meaning
From this fucking endless grieving

I for one
Won't sit here and stand for this no
I for one
Have been left alone with nowhere to go
I for one, I for one...
I for one, I for one...

Tell me that everything is alright
Kiss my head and tell me sleep tight
Tell me that everything is alright
Kiss my head and tell me sleep tight
Tell me that everything is alright
Kiss my head and tell me sleep tight
Tell me that everything is alright
Kiss my head and tell me...

And I've felt your lifelessness
And I've felt your emptiness
And I've felt your weakness
Tearing our ties as they crumble

I for one
Won't sit here and stand for this no
I for one
Have been left alone with nowhere to go
I for one, I for one...
I for one, I for one...
