Bastards Lyrics - Singles - Defeater

I hope this finds you well 

A father lost and mother dear 

The family that's kept me here 

Heartless and cold, and I've learned it well 

How to loose everything 

How to push you away 

How to lie when I say 

"I never raised a hand to the ones I love." 

Now look at how 

You beg and pray 

For your god and his grace 

To keep you safe 

To save you from me 

My broken spirit and back 

My calloused, shaking hands 

The ache I carry in me 

My grief and skeletons 

The weight you carried inside 

A weight that held my bloodline 

Black out the sunlight 

I count these burdens as mine 

And still all you see is that bastard in me 

Believing in hell 

A father lost and mother dear 

The family that I squandered here 

Heartless and cold, and I forgot it all 

How to loose everything 

How to push you away 

How to lie when I say 

"I never raised a hand to the ones I love." 

But I remember how 

You begged and prayed 

For your god and his grace 

To keep you safe 

To save you from me 

My broken spirit and back 

My calloused, shaking hands 

The ache I carry in me 

My grief and skeletons 

The weight you carried inside 

A weight that held my bloodline 

Black out the sunlight 

I count these burdens as mine 

And still all I see is that bastard in me
