In the oval office light, you stand tall
My confession's flowing like a waterfall
Hey daddy, can't you hear my call?
Been slipping for so long, now I'm 'bout to fall
Twenty years cracked out in midnight schemes
Pictures in my laptop, living in my dreams
Got skeletons that won't stay unseen
Give me a break from this guilt routine
Pardon me, father, for all I've done
Erase my mistakes, one by one
From the shadows into the sun
Let me be free or I will come undone
Politics and family, golden line crossed
In sticky webs of lies, I got myself tossed
Past catching up like a ticking clock
On the edge, waiting for your knock
Can you see your boy in the mess he made?
Cries for mercy in this grand charade
This empire crumbles, yet I stayed
Hoping you saved the bag I dropped that day
Pardon me, father, for all I've spun
Right my wrongs, till they're none
From the shadows into the sun
Grant me oblivion before you are done
Ten percent for the big guy
Pardon me, father, for all I've spun
Right my wrongs, till they're none
From the shadows into the sun
Grant me oblivion before you are done
Ten percent for the big guy
