I was there that night
Waiting for the dark cloud to come
Trying to ignore the doubt, he was resting
After begging for more relief
In a coma of symphonies
I'd like to think he went to meet God
To make sure we were taken care of
This can't keep me
From being the man you were to me
Never feeling anything short of a miracle
In this dark pit of the world
Pa**ing on your legacy
Now I'm stripped bare, sick of my skin
And I'm done with my head
This cancer eats at him as it sneaks
Through the halls of our home
A Father's pain is priced too high
Those months would never be enough
His side of the bed is still indented from the love
That's bearing a hole to the floor
I can feel him amongst these rooms of grief and disbelief
Making his way to the hearts of his family
Some were born to be fathers
You outshined it
This can't keep me
From being the man you were to me
Never feeling anything short of a miracle
In this dark pit of the world
Pa**ing on your legacy
Rest your eyes, you deserve it
We're never going to end this fight
But it's time and I don't know if I'm ready
How could I be, there's nothing about this that is easy
Those seven pounds are still beating
Paralyze the hands on that clock
Before that last gasp is shot out of his lungs
But how selfish can I be
Live in suffering or die in peace
Let that breath be filled with love
Hold it in, hold it in
