lyrics

My father was an artist in so many ways
he had big city dreams, one day he'd change the game
first came two sons then the fourteen hour days
I believe we helped him die young in our own way
Passive and aggressive on the stranger days
belts and paddles, blazing blue eyes on a titan's face
I could disappear from view without a trace
back then, just like today, no tears would stain my face

some things can't be erased
lift the mask from your face
that battle has been lost, you can't change who you are
it isn't worth the fight

dodging brow beatings and chugging down my pride
shot down mill town streets became a battle site
I became a prairie wolf of alleyways
We took in each forgotten son that hid their face
Every scar he gave me seems to resonate
as lessons learned the hard way by a recalcitrant
wisdom comes in spades to privileged debonairs
some of us, we head butt fists before we learn

fight for your life
grasp small things light
bleed your heart dry
open your eyes
before you ask why
bleed your heart dry
