lyrics

Face up, lying on this couch. Your fight just stopped him burning the house down. Fed up - shrapnel in your side - but still you made the most of it – the most of everything.

Be so proud, guarding what you love.

Nineteen, insipid and glad that you surpassed that normal father you thought you had. But I, too, would be breaking every glass that I saw if that mirror in my house still showed my fathers scars.

You’re so proud of your callous to love. You’ve not been the same since then, when...

Shots were fired in your own house. You pave the way for them now.

Face up, lying on this couch. My gut considered tossing the effort out. Fed up that you won’t turn around. Trying to make the most of it – the most of anything.

You’re so proud. Holding on to what?
