old man

so many fears hiding
so many wishes sliding
so many thoughts in your brain

don’t lie to me now
I believe in what you’ve said
this will bring me death

I was everything you had
brother, friend and dad
old man I listened to you

you were the person I came to
yours was the face I talked to
you were the one I always met

oh God where are you now?
I can’t reach you talking so loud
oh God I can’t see him here
cannot see him, fills me with fear
old man I can see you now
now your veil has fallen

so many fears hiding
so many wishes sliding
so many thoughts in your brain

you betrayed yourself
you believed in what you’ve said
this brought you death

old man I liked to listen to you
I thought what you told me was true
