K.Flay - Carry On

    With each stroke of my pen I connect
    Reflect on what was gained, what was learned, what was left
    Of the shards of a lifetime
    Capsized I was broken into fragments, scoured the cabinets
    For the bottles that were hidden, were there messages youd given me?
    Im your one and only legacy
    Its been six years since we last met
    I no longer dream of you, the visions gone from my head
    Once found in those brutally surreal scenes
    Where your spirit lingers, Im incapable of seeing
    Furthermore Im fairly doubtful that you are little more than dust
    Atoms now recycled in God I cannot trust, yet I must
    Where is your faith when you need it?
    Tell me, where is Christ when you do not believe in angels or in demons?
    Emaciated figure, my father his body ravaged but still we managed
    To make it many years before the liquor pulled the trigger
    Im stranded I havent forgotten how I thought that I would cope once I was bigger
    My feets my only carriage but I stumble as I tread
    Pages written in a book that you and I once read, they said
    Not yet but soon I will be gone
    Carry on carry on
    Its difficult to say exactly what I feel
    Lost in some translation and theres scratches on the reel
    Of a black and white, a silent movie usually Im the one to say the soundtracks flawed
    But in this case the melancholy draws me to the
    Background of the photograph
    I hope it lasts this feeling that youre watching from above
    That you know I dedicate the music to your love
    Guitar resonates with your doomed fate while I strum I contemplate
    I was brought up amidst the vodka
    It poisoned you and I was forced to watch my father slowly die over a toilet filled with puke
    Always afraid Id wake up to your corpse
    As a scared kid tried to keep my eyes from the floor
    Dont look down, in fact shut your eyelids entirely
    The knowledge that youll never get to know mes got me crying
    Death signifies the loss of a fragile life
    For every moment that you miss, I send to what I hope is Heaven your daughters kiss
    We cant speak, pray to no one in particular my wish will one day meet your cheek
    Hold my head up high but I stumble as I tread
    Pages written in a book that you and I once read, they said
    Not yet but soon you will be gone
    Carry on carry on
    Channeling the memories that I wrote down in a notebook that I kept after your death
    Bereft, frightened that in a short time I would lose sight of the subtleties of our relationship all the reminders
    The way your leather jacket smelled of cigarettes and booze
    Inhale the fragrance of an addict I was bound to lose
    Im still your child
    Im still your child
    You are my teacher
    I learned how to be the person that you couldnt even though I care for you
    Im wary I will replicate the mistakes you made in youth
    That carried on, imprinted in my mind
    I am playing your guitar, do the chords transcend time and space?
    Wasted potential I know it wasnt meant to end like this, with you lifeless
    In an urn full of ashes, gashes that are reopened every time a word is spoken
    For you live and breathe within the parts of me deep down that are forever broken
    Father, rest in peace but I stumble as I tread
    Pages written in a book that you and I once read, they said
    Not yet but soon well all be gone
    Carry on carry on
    Go forth and so on and so forth
    Still I miss you

    I don’t listen to this song daily anymore, though I did for a long time. This embodies all the feelings I had with my father. Anger, loathing, love, etc. I hate him and I love him. He ruined me, but I won’t ruin him. Don’t put your children through this

    This is why. If you have kids and suffer from addiction get help anyway you can. Because someday your child will grow up possibly with out you.. And its really something to think about. I love this song and K. Flay. You all mean so much to somebody.💗

      Addictions a bit harder than it looks and I don't know anyone who thought it looked easy.

      @shannonasbell8778 7 лет назад +5

      Kelsi Martinez Take care! You are much better than your father. This is my life. My dad was an alcoholic and he died about a year ago. I am older now and thought it wouldn't hurt me so much, but it did. I just found out I have a sister. He never told us and I hate that. He took a lot away from us. But, we love each other and will continue on to not let him hurt us anymore.. Much love to you, cause I understand.

    • @kelsijomartinez9159
      @kelsijomartinez9159 7 лет назад +2
