My Father's House
by American Arson

Album: The Blood & The Bones - EP


Everybody's coming to get me, everybody's placing the bounty on my head. They're coming to get me, everybody's placing the bounty on my head.

In my Father's house there are many rooms, oh and none of them can be bought with silver or gold. Still I cling to my failures like a dog to a discarded bone, and I wonder which one of them will be the one that brings me down.

Now I won't pretend to understand why I was given such an unrelenting passion for something that never ceases to disappoint me. And I've long abandoned the idea that the road I walk will someday lead to glory, but this is who I am... and so I walk.

I feel conviction like a body blow, determination like a fire beneath my feet. I'm tired of living in the afterglow, so sick of waiting for a fairy tale ending. I know we learn from birth that what we earn is what we're worth. And that's a filthy lie, I know, but it feels like...

Everybody's coming to get me, everybody's placing the bounty on my head.

Revolution is rising! It runs thick in my blood and my bones. I'm through compromising! But it's like a battle, oh it's like a war inside my chest is raging on... and some days are better than others.

I feel conviction like a body blow, determination like a fire beneath my feet. I'm tired of living in the afterglow, so sick of waiting for a fairy tale ending. I know we learn from birth that what we earn is what we're worth. And that's a filthy lie, I know, oh don't I know.

Well if these bones can't keep me upright, and if my body fails, well these lungs will sing until the final breath that I exhale. And if they should call for my surrender, and if they threaten pain, well this blood will speak of liberty when they force it from my veins.
