LIFU - Punisher Lyrics

He's a punisher
He's an architect
Building a family
With his blood and sweat
He knows the fire doesn't care
If you're a child of God
Or the devil's right hand
He's been a good man
Whatever he says

He's been healing
And grieving
He's been bargaining with his life
He's been bleeding himself dry
To put out the fires in his mind

God forbid we have some sense of stability
And not this tired guilt we claim to be necessary
Is this violence not repentance enough
Is this life we've lived
Not sorry enough
What more could you want

He's a widower
And a savior
And a leader
Sometimes fatally so
He's a little sick
It must just be the water
That's what his father would say

He's a believer
He's a killer
In the kitchen
As a captain
He's got the weight of the world on a glass
And in the palm of his hand

God forbid we have some sense of stability
And not this tired guilt we claim to be necessary
Is this violence not repentance enough
Is this life we've lived
Not sorry enough
What more could you want

He's Prometheus, reincarnate
He knows death is not a promise
And not a curse
Just an old friend
In the backseat
Holding your hand

And he is gentle
As a long drive
Down to the beach
To watch the sunrise
He knows he's gotta
Make the most of his life
And he's grateful to be alive
