“I've failed, my daughter, for the last time"

I said the last time I gave in and I left you all alone

I regret this playful garden that grew up

Around the walls you once called home

I woke up next to a stranger

There’s nothing stranger than falling apart

This autumn wind

This creaking boat

It calls me backwards to the sea

It calls me home

Forgive me

I can't patch this sinking ship

Forgive me

Was I ever a good man?

I should think not

I walked away like a bleeding ghost

To watch your family fall apart

Never looking back

Is it here?

Is it now?

The only chance to ask for peace

Or burn like ashes in the ground

Forgive me

I can't patch this sinking ship

Forgive me

I will sleep beneath the chaos of the sea

Spread my bones like scattered ash

Across the river where I’ll sleep forever

And every tear that I have sewn

Will claw its way out of my eyes and grow

You forgave me

And you've patched this sinking ship

You forgave me

Now I'll sleep beneath the chaos of the sea
