Certain Father Songtext
von July Talk

I could see it in her face
A hit-and-run
Under an ocean Sun
She thought I knew "he was not the only one"
But a purist′s mind in judgement is a funny thing
Don't need to try when the ice gets thin
I just sigh and hold it in

Said she wanted all of something (you can)
Overlooked, he feels forgotten (hear it)
Up the river, screaming profane, he says

Closer certain father
Feel the stillness dying
River current lying
Screaming coward
It was a hit-and-run

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha


Can′t take his place, he's a setting sun
Under the gun he'll try to prove he is not the lonely one
Father shows his teeth when he′s on the run
Don′t need to lie when you just pretend it was never your intent

Sinking deeper, manic creature (you can)
A hollow trope, an empty preacher (hear it)
Squirming falling you can hear it
Whisper

Closer certain father
Feel the stillness dying
River current lying
Screaming coward

It was a hit-and-run
As I try
It was a hit-and-run
As I try to compromise (as I try)
You can hear it (to compromise)
Closer certain father
Crying naked


Closer certain father
As I begin
Closer certain father
To let the water win
Closer certain father
'Cause I can′t hold you in
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
He's a setting sun
And you′re not the only
