Virtual Bird - My Dad Is Dead

Splitting at the reward for my grievance
Agoraphobe suffocated by fresh air
I don't want to trust
Just for someone to stab my weakness
I want to fight for freedom but sometimes I hate to care
No matter where I go
I'm fighting my father's ghost
Like the slashing wind in the freezing cold
Or how the cancer grows
We get old
As we get old

You weren't there for me
Johnny was never my father's name
You weren't there for me
Now that you're gone
I just wanted to say
Didn't have to be there for me
I think I turned out okay
You weren't there for me
You would have been a bad dad anyway
It's in my genetic coding to be a bastard apparently
My father's bad deeds outweighed his own tragedy
Didn't miss the exposure of a welcoming family
Now when I run into trouble
You could hear me say

You weren't there for me
Johnny was never my father's name
You weren't there for me
Now that you're gone
I just wanted to say
Didn't have to be there for me
I think I turned out okay
You weren't there for me
