Lyrics
At the Gates
Rx
Heart broken in so many ways, the end of days..
Are paved in tar, now I'm begging for a grave..
I'll love you forever, just be with me..
Dished out a dealing, a dealing I couldn't eat..
So I repeat, I think about you everytime I speak..
When I first saw you, my knees grew weak..
Now, I can't get that place in your heart..
When we both know it was true love from the start..
Everytime I go to sleep, I don't want to lay without you..
Stay without you, I'll decay without you..
But, once I slip into a sleep, I tend to dream about you..
My incoming calls should have been solid proof..
Massaging you up and down with a decent tendency..
Who would have thought love would be an enemy..
Or be, the end of me, our baby was the only thing we had..
And, now she's dead, and I was a deadbeat dad..
-[]chorus x2[]-
Desiree, baby, will you wait at the gates, wait at the gates for me..?
Because me and you were destined to be..
Everyday I feel regret for never being there..
I just wasn't ready, truth is I was scared..
Too much commitment, but I can't say that to Desiree..
Especially since she's gone, and departed ways..
I should've been there more, should've been concerned..
Heard her speak the first word that she learned..
But, I was too caught up in all these different drugs..
I never even thought about givin' her no love..
So, sleep is restless, and the nights are relentless..
It feels like I should serve a f*ckin' life sentence..
For not being there, never saw her walk..
But it's too late, her body's been outlined in chalk..
And, she's chillin' at the gates of heaven for me..
And, once I get there, me and her gone crack some 40's..
Drink, and talk about how she came about..
Lettin' the beer swash back and forth in my mouth..
-[]chorus x2[]-
I can't believe I denied being the daddy..
Even though, when I looked at her, I looked right at me..
We were just alike, now she's dead in the night..
Sacrificed, and carried up by the arms of christ..
Jesus, please, treat my baby with respect..
And, keep her safe until the arrival of a prophet..
Cuz, all I can say is sorry, which isn't much..
Bless my baby girl, and leave her touched..
Because I was too scared to do it myself..
Forgive me for every time I gave Rebecca welts..
Damn, I'm a dead beat dad, I should've been there..
Her hazel eyes just like mine when she stared..
Daddy's little girl even had daddy's accent..
And, really, it should have been me in that accident..
But, no, I wasn't man enough to own up to it..
And, I guess her death helped make me a grown up through it..
-[]chorus x4[]-
