Try to Live Your Life, My Son

from Light of a Hard Place by Animal Pharma

/

lyrics

Try to live your life
Try to live your life
Try to live your life, my son

You say the Devil's taken placement
And you're on a first name basis
And he's purchasing damnation in your name

But you know when you were born
Your mum and I had sworn
That we would auction that damnation to the saints
So try to live your life
Try to live your life, my son

I know you're at war and it's hard to breathe
But you don't know what you mean to your mother and me
So try to live your life
Try to live your life, my son
There's nobody in this world that we love more

Believe me to be glad about you, my stumbling prince
It is you who is the light of a hard place
I could never know the rot of all the things that you may think
Like a coward, I've escaped my conscious brain

But I will pay the price so you are spared
That I may kill the things that lurk beneath your bed
In the chance you'll never meet what makes you scared
With grace and everlasting love from dad
So live your life
My light of a hard place

As you sit inside a carrel, raptureward and still unsure
Trying to reconcile your place in Heaven's caste
And the bodies of our loved-ones render cold forevermore
I did crack that riddle long before this phase

For all the wreck that has been laid upon our house
All the sacrilege in my time that I've dealt
I've laboured and bothered
The sins of all our fathers are repaid
That you may be levied
So baby boy, say 'fuck you!' to the usurers of grace
'Cause dad'll fuck 'em up

So try to live your life
Try to live your life, my son
Love me and mum
Without you, this place is hard and dark

Try to live your life x3
Try to live your life, my son
