Torches and Tragedies |
Children who watch their fathers rise to work each day |
Becoming bitter as they piss their lives away |
Out of balance as he stumbles to the porch |
Too young to recognize the passing of the torch |
And so they cry (in fear) |
They wonder why (not here) |
The cycle punctuates an atmosphere of pain and lies |
It gets to where one never knows what to expect |
A bedtime story or a broken nose or neck |
They take it in and take it on |
Like they’ve been shown |
It goes on and on and |
Too many sterile homes without a thing to say |
A generation losing innocence this way and |
No recognition of the bridges as they burn |
Just repetition of behaviors they have learned |
And so they cry (in fear) |
They wonder why (not here) |
We tip the fragile scales of temperament and guilt |
Too soon mistaken for the will that makes us strong |
But looking back it’s just the shame we pass along |
My dreams too often true |
I will never be the same as you |
Born dead to live a lie |
Shut down when I see you cry |
