You cut your ties, felt better off, salutations to your son
Awoke to find you heading out with your white collar undone
You placed a bar, I played a game to see how low that I could go
We develop mental pictures and we’re following our fathers down the drain
Do you recall the imagery from when i drove you away?
Through others’ rose prescription lens,
man I’m sorry every day
Because We intersect internally and then we take what we have and we run
And It all starts to unravel until we’re less than we were carrying before
I guess I expected more
Wake me, wake me up!
(Pictures of you smiling in times when I just couldn’t be around)
Hold me, hold me up!
(Count my rings to see how many winters)
I’ve been stuck here under ground
Swore I’d not burn out
Digging through the memories that made you feel alive when you were young
You were right to doubt
Broken since foundations in the structures you were building came undone
Part of your charm was the way you would push me from
All of the traps that I just couldn’t see.
Figures the one that was there to have tripped you up
Would be the one was set there by me
Wish I was there to say goodbye when you went away
Wish I was home but no place was there
I cut off my arm at the bone in solidarity
Capital teaches that there’s less when you share
I felt the noose tighten up on your collar bone
I felt the gun in the small of your back
Engraved in the stone by request and recurse of friends dead is
'Tell me again that it’s all in my head'
