Mmmm-hmmm (Bando.Seven.Hella.Heaven?) Ooo'O Father I dont wanna be a bother.. but these endless nights jus keep on gettin Longer night keeps stretching past the edge of dawn I’m still here, but I don’t know what I’m holding on for Father, if you hear me, send a sign I’m running out of road, I’m running out of time I woke up with a storm sitting heavy in my chest Every answer that I wanted turned into another test Everybody’s got a reason, everybody’s got a game They point at all the wreckage, then pretend they’re not to blame I’ve been fighting with my shadow, losing pieces every day Smiling for the cameras while my spirit fades away Friends become strangers, promises become smoke I keep swallowing the truth until I nearly choke I tried once, then I tried again Put my faith in broken friends They said, “Everything will be alright,” But that lie never made it through the night How much longer can a heart stay cracked Before it forgets how to beat back? How much farther can these tired feet go When every road leads where I already know? Father, how much longer? Tell me how much more I’ve been knocking on a silent heaven With my knees against the floor Father, how much longer? I can’t carry all this weight If there’s a door beyond this darkness Please don’t make me wait Red flags in the rearview, black clouds overhead Too many names carved into memories of the dead I see pain in every city, hear it underneath the bass Everybody’s chasing something they can never replace try to hide your pain but it still shows in your face the truth is in the eyes where your soul slowly breaks as long as the world keeps spinning there's people sinning tired of losing sometimes I think love Is Just an Illusion father ain't going to lie this world is so confusing amusing to me how children are resilient the older you get the colder you get so brilliant coming you can go nothing that's forever how much pain can you sustain it don't stop it just keep coming and coming over and over again. (Bando7! Hell or Heaven where's my destiny?) I was raised where the wind cut sharp and the shoreline shined Learned early that survival takes a dangerous kind of mind From the first breath to the last one, every soul gets tested You can bow to what controls you, or leave your own direction these demons I'm fighting just keep on stepping they say the Bible is your strongest weapon I’ve seen people trade their hearts for a pocket full of change I’ve seen love turn into leverage, seen loyalty rearrange Now they’re asking why I’m distant, why I never let them in I’m just tired of rebuilding what they came to break again How much longer can a dream stay alive When every morning feels like another way to die? How much louder must I scream Before somebody hears the person underneath? I beg you please come rescue me right now life is misery and humbled me Father please help me be a better FATHER FATHER I dont wanna be a bother Father, how much longer? Tell me how much more I’ve been knocking on a silent heaven With my knees against the floor OH FATHER FATHER I dont wanna be a bother, Father, how much longer? I can’t carry all this weight If there’s a door beyond this darkness Please don’t make me wait I'm sorry if I show up late this depression got me losing weight sadness turns to anger I'm battling fighting back this hate Lord please come get me forgive me for my ways tears dropped up my eyes every damn trying to release all this pain it's hard Forget Me Lord When I’m gone, where will I be? Somewhere peaceful, somewhere free? Is there fire beneath the ground Or a light I haven’t found? I don’t need a perfect answer I just need a little peace Give me strength to face tomorrow Give my restless mind release Father please don't you see me on my knees I'm losing my sanity taking everything I got including family I know I'm not perfect but why I feel like nobody can stand me see it's hella lonely feeling like the you're the one and only everybody feeling phony his heart to trust your homie you been betrayed by your world when you realize your girl went behind you did it pain it's just hard to sustain all this God damn pain Lord I need you stop the rain rain rain go away but it don't they say Nothing stays, nothing’s certain Every page will turn to dust But if I came here for a reason Let that reason still be us Father Father Oh Father, how much longer? I’m still reaching through the rain I’ve been carrying this midnight Like a chain around my name Father, how much longer? I’m not ready to let go If you’re listening in the silence Give me one more sign to know Hey, hey— The night keeps stretching, but the dawn is somewhere near I’m still breathing through the damage I’m still standing through the fear Father, if you hear me, ease my soul I may be lost, but I’m not gone I may be broken, but I’m holding on.
