MY FATHER'S FACE IN MY MIRROR
MY FATHER'S BLOOD IN MY VEINS
MY FATHER'S VOICE IN MY THROAT
MY FATHER'S NAME IS MY NAME

AND YOU CAN HAVE THE REST
I NO LONGER CARE
AND YOU SHOULD DEAL ALONE
WITH IT

MY FATHER'S LAUGH IN MY ROOM
MY FATHER'S NAILS ON MY HANDS
MY FATHER'S FEET IN MY SHOES
MY FATHER'S NAME IS MY NAME

AND YOU CAN HAVE THE REST
I NO LONGER CARE
UNTIL YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES
AND YOU MEET US THERE
GATHERED IN PARADISE
WE'LL NO LONGER CARE YOU
WON'T HAVE TO DEAL ALONE
WITH IT
