i just have to deal with something i just have to deal with something my father would tell me as a child then he was gone for hours like sun in the night he had vanished he used to go away every evening while years were melting and he always did the same: my father would play the piano my father would play the guitar my father would sing and drink my father would meet a woman years were melting and i grew up an hour here, two hours there peng, now you're eighteen a delinquent without a role-model zoom, how fast time had passed by rivers of oblivion in my father's eyes he looked at me like looking into a mirror he talked to me and only talked about himself my father never really raised me i am a lion you know, i have to be strong feel me or not; go away or stay; be hetero or gay nothing of it matters: i am my own daddy fatherhood is a matter of interpretation each father is flawless and full of flaws my father was absent and never tried to stay now i am a father, struggling with my demons

The Absent Father
i just have to deal with something i just have to deal with something my father would tell me as a child then he was gone for hours like sun in the night he had vanished he used to go away every evening while years were melting and he always did the same: my father would play the piano my father would play the guitar my father would sing and drink my father would meet a woman years were melting and i grew up an hour here, two hours there peng, now you're eighteen a delinquent without a role-model zoom, how fast time had passed by rivers of oblivion in my father's eyes he looked at me like looking into a mirror he talked to me and only talked about himself my father never really raised me i am a lion you know, i have to be strong feel me or not; go away or stay; be hetero or gay nothing of it matters: i am my own daddy fatherhood is a matter of interpretation each father is flawless and full of flaws my father was absent and never tried to stay now i am a father, struggling with my demons
Today is a good day.
