As a grown man I have to steal what you could never give, and make what you couldn't live. I collect and acquire and mold with fire, and send it through my charcoal filter. What I'm left with, a mellow sting sipped before the end of a bittersweet fling.

Words for My Gone Father
As a grown man I have to steal what you could never give, and make what you couldn't live. I collect and acquire and mold with fire, and send it through my charcoal filter. What I'm left with, a mellow sting sipped before the end of a bittersweet fling.
About my dad who was killed in a car accident when i was twelve. It's not out of anger but of the realization of having to learn from other men in my life.
