about

What do you do when you cannot see a life ahead of the duty you were assigned by your generation?

What are you left with when you strip back the filmsy script between father and son and you're left to carry each other's bare bones?

Do you mourn the loss of the ideal relationship? Even though it was a lie?

Or do you forge something new, honest, and better?

lyrics

At 16 he came alive,
And life grabbed him by the throat,
Carving every victory into his face,
Leaving a plane of aged lines.

He was to me as god is to man,
His sun blinded face looking kindly down
As I clung to the fabric about his knees.

Amidst lamps that bleed their sickly colour into the street
We cry,
And the windscreen wipers flick our tears out onto the pavement
On the way to the hospital, after my head bled.

I'm older now,
As tears run down the cracks in his mask
I see a man crouched in a life that's not his own,
Altogether human.
Now his wife won't look at him,
And the glum hum of a train approaching
Is far more appealing than the delight of a grandson.
