Lyrics:
Dinner table silence
Internal teenage violence
Starring in my father’s stress filled eyes
His back was probably hurting
From life’s financial burdens
Same type of pressure I’ve internalized
Time it flies & fire dies like candles on a cake
College debt and cigarettes, and all our shared mistakes
It’s a vicious cycle that nobody can escape
Blood related and trying to relate
She lived the life they taught her
Had a son, she had a daughter
A martyr for her children’s happiness
In a picture of her past life
Her future looking so bright
Smiling in her Easter Sunday dress
Summertime & light blue eyes & love that likely fades
Wedding dress, white picket fence pressure to pro-create
It’s a vicious cycle that nobody can escape
Blood related and trying to relate
Amidst a mid life crisis
Left up to your own devices
Staring at your half full glass of wine
Cause you gave them the cold shoulder
But I’ll bet before it’s over
You’re gonna wish that you had more time
Time flies & fire dies & people make mistakes
Photographs & epitaphs & flowers on a grave
It’s a vicious cycle, it’s a never ending fate
Blood related & trying to relate
Blood related & trying to relate
Blood related & trying to relate
