sins of the father feat daniel caesar

Bon Iver

Oh Lord, I bear this weight
My mom and my daddy
Upon me, they ve placed
I have no words to say
It s written there all over my face

Oh Lord, perpetual pain
I can t be at home where
My father lays
In time, we ll fade away
Hopefully it s to the same place

Father, You said You d love me
Like my own never could
How could I ever thank Thee?
You are good

There is no one like You
You gave Your life so I wouldn t have to
Where there is one, there s two
It s me and You

I ve got all this hate in my heart
but I got no place to put it
Tried to leave it behind but I couldn t
I need alchemical transmutation
I need alchemical transmutation
I ve got all this pain in my heart
but I got no place to put it
Tried to leave it behind but I couldn t
I need alchemical transmutation
I need alchemical transmutation, oh

Dad was forgetful, he promised a lot
Thankfully, he never got caught
Passed it to me, now I finally can see
Forgetting s a gift, thank You, God

Forgot your birthday, I m sorry, my dear
At least my stance remains clear
I ll forget your birthday like every year
Who gives a fuck anyways?

(Those are the sins of the father)
(Those are the sins)
(Sins, sins, sins, sins of the father)
(Turn around)
(Turn around, oh, child of mine)
