A Seraphs Lament Chords & Lyrics - Misc Your Songs - Riley Oxford
Artist: Misc Your Songs & Riley Oxford
[VERSE 1]
[G]Hey Dad,
[Bm]How goes the war?
[A]Did you finally receive what you’ve been
[Bm]Fighting for?
[G]And how’s mom?
[Bm]Is she still in distress?
[A]Are her eyes still growing soulless as she
[Bm]tries to clean up your mess?
[G]As for him,
[Bm]My brother divine,
[A]Do those sticks and stones still break her bones?
[Bm]‘cause he didn’t need those to go and break mine.
[PRE CHORUS]
[G]You stood, you watched me fall to pieces.
[A]There on the ground, all I could think was
[E]Home is burning! Home is burning
[Bm]Inside my mind
[G]As I stood and looked at the girl who’d shattered,
[A]looked at the girl who thought that she mattered,
[D]all I saw was a girl trapped behind a
[Bm]Mountain of glass.
[CHORUS]
[G]Sometimes I wished I[D] couldn’t see her,
[A]that[Bm] girl in the mirror.
[G]The girl who thought her da[D]d would free her,
[A]she[Bm] didn’t know that things were
[G]falling[D] apart.
She would [A]stay in the [Bm]dark
wonderin[G]g why
anyone would[A] try
to love her broken[Bm] parts.
[VERSE 2]
[G]Hey dad,
[D]look at me now!
[A]I’ve climbed over the mountain
[Bm]while you’re still "holier than thou”
[G]And mom,
[D]I hope she’s doing alright,
[A]After I did what she couldn’t do and
[Bm]I put up my own fight.
[G]For my brother,
[D]is he impressed?
[A]I've broken free and I'm not gonna be a
[Bm]pawn in his game of chess.
[PRE CHORUS]
[G]I stood, awake, picked up my pieces
[A]off of the ground, and all I could think was
[E]Look at me now! Look at me
[Bm]I'm your seraph no more.
[G]I said goodbye to that girl behind me,
[A]and I looked ahead to the person I could be.
[D]I felt the light inside her and
[Bm]the girl faded away.
[CHORUS]
[G]Now I know [D]I'll never be her,[A]
[Bm]That girl in the mirror.
[G]Her life is gone, [D]her reflection is blurred.[A]
[Bm]‘cause I finally see my
[G]World’s open[D] doors
[A]They're mine,[Bm] they were never yours.
While I long for your[G] touch,
And I know love[A] hurts,
But it’s not supposed to hurt[Bm] that much.
[BRIDGE]
[Bm]I was understated, undermined,
[A]Now I'm liberated, unconfined
[A]I finally know that[Bb] I deserve happiness too!
[G]And I know now that happiness can come from[A] me,
And far away from[Bm] you.
[OUTRO]
[G]I know you wish [D]you still could see her[A] ,
[Bm]But I threw away the mirror.
[G]Hey Dad,
