Man You Raised

When days were bright, and I was young, you'd talk to me, say, "Hey, my son

The world only gets colder as you age"

Now so many nights have led me here, thinking 'bout the things I fear

When will I finally get some fucking rest?

And just like whiskey going down, my throat burns just to speak out loud

Why cannot I not clear my own damn head?

But I'm alright, I'm okay

I will always be the man you raised

I know it's hard on the darkest days

But the moon could never steal your son away

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

All my love is set in stone

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa

And if I die, you get my throne

I'm sorry for the time I spent, on my own in this trench

I know it kills you that I am alone

But the boys out here won't let me die, and if it was my final night

I'd talk to you until I could not speak

Then with minutes left I'd crack a joke, tell you about the songs I wrote

And pray that they live long after my time

But I'm alright, I'm okay

I will always be the man you raised

I know it's hard on the darkest days

But the moon will never steal your son away

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

All my love is set in stone

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa

And if I die, you get my throne

'Cause I'm alright, I'm okay

I will always be the man you raised

I know it's hard on the darkest days

But the moon can never steal your son away

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

All my love is set in stone

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa

And if I die, you get my throne
