My Dad is Dead-Boundaries

My Dad is Dead-The Taller You Are, The Shorter You Get (1989)

Boundaries

I built a shrine to you
Sacrificed my will
Offered up my needs
Swallowed bitter pills

I carved a niche for you
Deep inside my heart
Wrote a glorious script
Played a perfect part

My life revolved around you
The center of my world
My life dissolved into you
The center of my world

God knows I have a weakness
I put you on a pedestal
My devotion knows no boundaries

What you want and what I want
Who is right and who is wrong
It's such a blurry scene

God knows I have a weakness
I put you on a pedestal
My devotion knows no boundaries

I am yours you are mine
We are fused
Until the end of time

I built a shrine to you
Sacrificed my will
Offered up my needs
Swallowed bitter pills

I lived a life through you
So easy to submerge
My own desires in yours
Things I did not deserve

My life revolved around you
The center of my world
My life dissolved into you
The center of my world

God knows I have a weakness
I put you on a pedestal
My devotion knows no boundaries

What you want and what I want
Who is right and who is wrong
It's such a blurry scene

God knows I have a weakness
I put you on a pedestal
My devotion knows no boundaries

I am yours you are mine
We are fused
Until the end of time

Music for Anti-Socialists

[googoobh]

I agree totally .... Mark Edwards is a great song writer and really under rated.

[somewhathumanlike]

@inova11901 If you have a myopic and inaccurate view of what socialism is, maybe. There are individualist currents within libertarian socialism.

This album is an all-time classic and this is the best song on it.

[slicknicknirvana]

sounds like Joy division

[prittglue]

best !

Correction.....That's like saying David Gedge has NO emotion....My bad

[31makimba]

You know, I wouldn't be as harsh as the other guy was, but regarding that bitch's comment earlier, first of all, you don't open up a comment with fuck you and then say you're sorry...what a glaring contradiction...especially when it was unwarranted to begin with...Not only that, but I happen to agree with crown of the valley's comment, although I haven't heard enough of this band's shit to say that they're better, but they're outstanding...No emotion? That's like saying David Gedge has emotion

[mindfulsoultrip]

This music is amazing, as are the lyrics....and I see no reason to fight over who is better....dinosaur jr. and sebadoh and built to spill are awesome, rocking bands, who have written MANY good songs.....

let's just enjoy the music?????????

@yesh0yesh0yesh You dumb fuckin whore why don't you shove your shithead deeper into the generic 'indie' canon ass you ignorant piece of manure. Michael phoney fuckin Stipe ain't half the songwriter this guy Mark Edwards is and has been for 25 years -

[yesh0yesh0yesh]

@crownofthevalley fuck you. i'm sorry, but it really can't compare. and saying dinosaur and sebadoh have only written a couple good songs is bullshit.

this guy's voice kinda blows. he sounds like some cocky asshole without any feeling trying to sound deep. or like he desperately wishes he was michael stipe.
