lyrics

Today I gave my mom the run-around,
I'm sitting in the dark feeling sorry for myself.
My pants are tight, I'm feeling down.
Wish I was my dad in the sunny, quiet south.

Today I made my sister cry,
Apologized even though things won't be alright.
Resemblance striking,
Shoes I'll never fill -
Wish I was my dad in box up on that hill.

In a box atop the hill,
The light streams in between the steel bars.
A man alone he contemplates,
Mistakes, restraint,
How wrong they all are.

The son dips low,
A flagstone removed so deft.
The tunnel has grown,
Every night left alone.

Today I snapped,
I couldn't help myself.
I peered out a window to market street below.
Colors throng together then they melt.
My eyes magnetize a certain fellow in merlot.

Today the scent of blood was overwhelming,
Obsessive, the hunt, the want
Potential.
Future prey.
Pull me closer, that I'll feel your heartbeat.
Craving the same taste as my father every day.

Atop the hill,
The light streams in between the steel bars.
A man alone he contemplates,
Mistakes, restraint,
How wrong they all are.

The son dips low,
A flagstone removed so deft.
The tunnel has grown,
Every night left alone.

Left alone, left alone.

Left alone,
To my devices.
I'm a joke,
Become my vices
They laugh,
I'm close, so enticing.
Just below,
My stomach writhing.
