Kill my vanity

One of many verses that I wrote trying to describe the anguish of losing my dad. 15 years ago this month and I still miss him so.

 Kill my Vanity

 

Don't let me be alive when I'm dead

When you say your goodbye, make sure it's the last

Life in the flesh, but not in the head

Pain to the living, but not living the past

 

The passage of eons to a different place

The blink of an eye, spans countless time

Remembering the love in a familiar face

Where pain is forgotten and all are in prime

 

I screamed to the Man, it's too much trouble

Hear my voice, I've been crying for so long

I can never give it away, but it comes back double

Echos are the return of something gone

 

The Son is the Father, and my father’s His son

The light is the answer to save the rock

Forsake him not as we are one

Pray teach me the key that opens the lock

 

That through me my father may be

United again in knowledge and love

Kill my vanity, and understand me

It's just what I believe concerning above

 

Wavering faith, it's not new feeling

But it consumes me, I don't want to lose it

I beg that the promise delivers the healing

And my heart reads true , and allows me to choose it
