Pride and the Pallor |
Papa had a wife and kids he kept them on a leash and he bid them all to do his |
every deed* |
When he was a kid he was treated just the same so he hid his feelings from the |
family. |
Lost as an island out at sea, resistant to the gentle waves of empathy. |
Papa and his family always on parade. |
Tearing through the turnstiles, a weekender’s charade. |
But time will tell, as their world crumbles to hell. |
What they created was a family story no one will tell. |
It’s a photo album too terrible. |
But the pride and the pallor continue to swell. |
And the matron silently prays. |
Junior resented the tradition they upheld and it ate him up inside most every |
day. |
Silence was golden and they kept him to his word. |
So bewildered when he finally ran away. |
Oh, obligations never cease. |
Oblivious of the ways to give his soul some peace. |
Yeah, Papa and his family always on parade. |
Passing through the turnstiles, a weekender’s charade. |
But time will tell, as their world crumbles to hell. |
What they created was a family story no one will tell. |
It’s a photo album too terrible. |
But the pride and the pallor continue to swell. |
And the matron silently prays. |
«Get me out of here, someone’s got to save the day.» |
The children are reminded to do it for the daddy’s sake. |
And happiness is ever so far, far away. |
Yeah, lost as an island out at sea. |
'Oblivious of the gentle ways of empathy' |
Papa and his family always on parade. |
Tearing through the turnstiles, a weekender’s charade. |
It’s just a sick calamity that fatherhood made, but time will tell, |
as their world crumbles to hell. |
What they created was a family story no one will tell. |
It’s a photo album too terrible. |
'But the pride and the pallor continue to swell as the matron silently prays' |
