Toehider - Daddy Issues lyrics

Carrying burdens, and staring at nothing, a tap on the shoulder “You're too young to get it, just play with your toys. I'll explain when you're older” The cradle and cat, man - enough with the Chapin. I get it, it's ample You think you can teach, so you teach what you think, but they learn by example She keeps to herself, and she rarely contributes, here under the table And she carries the weight of the world that surround ds her, she's willing and able “It's just a suggestion, don't take it as gospel.” Took them outside to gaze at the clouds, with such fascination “I can see trees, that one looks like a car…” a surge of creation “People will take that stuff just because they have no imagination.” Try to speak openly, exercise patience to spark conversation Part of me wants them to turn out like me and be scared of the devil But part of me wants them to seek out adventure, be not so damn careful It's just observation, don't take it as gospel WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? I CAN'T WRITE IT OFF AND START AGAIN AND ALL I DON'T DO ACCOUNTS FOR SOMETHING ACCUMULATED BLAME Carry the blood down, the elder's a liar, the uncle's a user The mother's irrational, father's incompetent, scatterbrained loser Inherently take on the traits and mistakes of whom they're exposed to Try hard to influence, set a good path, do as you're supposed to But how do you combat the rot that's so deep and so heavy inside them? Supposing you spare them from nightmares and spiders that sit down beside them? I want to forget more But I'm always reminded WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? I CAN'T WRITE IT OFF A ND START AGAIN AND ALL I DON'T DO ACCOUNTS FOR SOMETHING ACCUMULATED BLAME WHAT IF ALL I TRY AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? CAN'T JUST RIDE IT OUT ACROSS THE SKY AND I KNOW YOU'LL BLAME ME FOR SOMETHING LIKE NIGHTTIME BLAMES THE SUNRISE Things aren't getting clearer Think it's such a shame Try to make a difference When things turn out the same You are why I'm living And I am all you've got And you're too young to worry And I'm too old to not And you're too young to realise And I'm too old to see All in a day's work, it's taking forever what used to an hour Stuck with a dragon, a princess, a promise, and ivory towers The messages mixed, inconsistently fixed, they don't need the confusion The lessons are tangled up tight, but at least it creates an illusion They don't make them good anymore, like they used to, they're built to be thrown out With minds on the game, we switch on, we switch off, we sit back and we zone out And memory's trigger, well, father it figures… WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? I CAN'T WRITE IT OFF AND START AGAIN AND ALL I DON'T DO ACCOUNTS FOR SOMETHING ADD IT TO THE WHAT IF ALL I TRY AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? CAN'T JUST RIDE IT OUT ACROSS THE SKY AND I KNOW YOU'LL BLAME ME FOR SOMETHING WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING? WHAT IF ALL I DO AMOUNTS TO NOTHING?
