| [00:01.43] |
You hadn't seen your father in such a long time |
| [00:09.48] |
He died in the arms of his lover how dare he |
| [00:18.02] |
Your mother never left the house |
| [00:22.34] |
She never married anyone else you took it upon yourself to console her |
| [00:33.85] |
|
| [00:35.97] |
You reminded her so much of your father |
| [00:41.76] |
So you were banished and you wonder why you're so hypersensitive |
| [00:48.16] |
And why you can't trust anyone but us but then how can I begin |
| [00:55.55] |
To forgive her so many years under bridges with dirty water |
| [01:00.95] |
She was foolish and selfish and cowardly if you ask me |
| [01:08.31] |
|
| [01:10.69] |
I don't know where to begin in all of my 50 odd years |
| [01:17.24] |
I have been silently suffering and adapting perpetuating and enduring |
| [01:26.62] |
Who are you younger generation to tell me |
| [01:32.20] |
That I have unresolved problems not many examples of fruits |
| [01:38.07] |
Of this type of excruciating labor |
| [01:42.39] |
|
| [01:45.20] |
How can you just throw words around like grieve and heal and mourn |
| [01:52.38] |
I feel fine we may not have been born as awake as you were |
| [02:00.47] |
|
| [02:01.59] |
It was much harder in those days we had paper routes uphill both ways |
| [02:09.39] |
|
| [02:09.95] |
We went from school to a job to a wife to instant parenthood |
| [02:16.91] |
|
| [02:19.90] |
I walked into his office I felt so self-conscious on the couch |
| [02:27.47] |
He was sitting down across from me he was writing down |
| [02:33.73] |
His hypothesis I don't know I've got a loving supportive wife |
| [02:40.18] |
Who doesn't know how involved she should get |
| [02:44.62] |
You say his interjecting was him just calling me on my sh*t |
| [02:52.30] |
|
| [02:54.42] |
Just the other day my sweet daughter I was driving past 203 |
| [03:01.75] |
I walked up the stairs in my mind's eye |
| [03:06.49] |
I remember how they would creak loudly |
| [03:09.98] |
She was only responsive with a drink he was only responsive by photo |
| [03:19.22] |
I was only trying to be the best big brother I could |
| [03:25.93] |
|
| [03:28.87] |
I've walked sometimes confused sometimes ready to crack open wide |
| [03:35.06] |
|
| [03:35.69] |
Sometimes indignant sometimes raw can you imagine |
| [03:43.50] |
I pay him 75 dollars an hour sometimes it feels like highway robbery |
| [03:53.23] |
And sometimes it's peanuts I wish it could last a couple more hours |
| [04:01.19] |
|
| [04:03.44] |
So here we both are battling similar demons not coincidentally |
| [04:10.34] |
|
| [04:11.09] |
You seen getting beyond knowing it solely intellectually |
| [04:15.23] |
|
| [04:16.17] |
You're not relinquishing your majesty |
| [04:19.85] |
You are wise you are warm you are courageous you are big |
| [04:27.09] |
|
| [04:28.21] |
And I love you more now than I ever have in my whole life |
