Pariah - West Avenue Lyrics

You taught me everything
Twelve years of age without your guidance
God knows how long without your face
I won't forget the day you
Left me stranded

A call I would have never imagined
A drive home never knowing what happened
Walking through the door
To broken souls
Looking into their eyes, I saw their sadness
I thought I'd feel this numb forever

But we were weak together
When we only needed each other
A family in itself, is what kept us going
We reclaim the days you took
As we rebuild the home you broke
Knowing now that time is not my keeper

I miss feeling numb
Can't bring myself to where I was
We'll never get back, all the time we lost
There's doubts inside of me
Can I still trust who I can't see?
Leaving behind only memories

I stand, on the edge of what I thought was, desperation
Clinging onto sanity, in hopes of respiration

Breathe in, breathe out
You'll make it through this
He'll be home, soon enough

What I'd do to see your face
And that alone would make me smile
But these dreams will stay dreams
And you'll still, live in denial

Just know, we're still strong
Father and son, an unbreakable bond
We'll stand as one
We'll stand as one

I miss feeling numb
Can't bring myself to where I was
We'll never get back, all the time we lost
There's doubts inside of me
Can I still trust who I can't see?
Leaving behind only memories

Look at the man, I've become
Is this what you wanted?
I am your son. I am your son
