Ode to Dad

Outside the world's gone mad
And dad's inside of my head
Asking me what I'm doing
Telling me what to say
Wondering if I'll get a job
Telling me how to behave

Outside the world's gone mad
Dad's inside of my head
He reads me tortured stories
Of heroes who died unnamed
The prophet's words of glory
And the devil's fortress of shame

Outside the world's gone mad
Dad's inside of my head
He knows when I'm feeling sorrow
He asks me if I still pray
I tell him I'll be home tomorrow
Save his prayers for another day
