lyrics

Do I repeat my father mistakes?
Will my children resent me?
Do I grow old and die alone?
Or will my children bury me?
And I feel that I’ve walked home every day in the rain,
And I followed you because you said you knew my pain.
And if I being evil, know how to give goodness to my children,
how much more will the father give to those who ask of him?
I carry half of my father, and I carry half of my mother.
I carry half of their dreams and I carry half of their failures.
I am terrified of raising a child, their life in my hand,
But somehow terrified at the thought that I may die without them.
And to my future children, should I even entrusted with them.
I’m sure I’m unprepared, for the gift that I’ve been given.
I will do my best for you, whatever that may be.
You never know want, and will never know need.
I will never stop trying, and I will never give up.
Supplying correction, I pray it shown in love.
Grace you are good and I’m just here trying.
Oh father’s let go down, wont you come one down.
Do I repeat my father mistakes?
Will my children resent me?
Do I grow old and die alone?
Or will my children bury me?

This is the album that got me into Zao. I had heard Splinter, Blood, and Liberate, but they didn't really do it for me (although I did enjoy the listen). Cue the first track on this album. Within the first 30 seconds I knew I had to have it. Bought the cd within the day. This album is a whole 'nother beast. Oh, and the clean vocals? SPOT ON. TheSpyHunter

Respect to Zao for letting their love and passion for music surpass the harshness of their critics back in the day for their sound, this is a band that deserves the overlook of their personal beliefs even if you don’t particularly hold them yourself. Josh H.
