lyrics

The memories of home-baked pies
Steaming in the windowsill:
The family cabin whose legacy lies
In its brethren embracing its goodwill:
The crackling fireplace
once complimented jovial nights
Of laughs ringing through our place.
We felt we had god on our side,

But as Dad the wallflower sat with a beer in his hand
Wondering why the world had gone so mad,
Not even rose colored glasses could hide
The man whose resentments valiantly boiled inside.

(How I remember)
How jovially they drank:
How mother tried to love them
In their house where they'd crank
Their music louder than ears could take.
"But this is family; there's nothing wrong with this!"
She would yell from tables of beer pong in rooms of piss,
And that'd be one sock in the face, and another one in the gut.
"Be a man, Boy. Get out of your pissant rut!"

And from the strike that broke those rose-colored glasses
Came the wreckage of my boyish dreams.
I recall the faint scent of wine on mother's glasses.
I smell the cigarette smoke rotting the bones of future generations.

How safe it feels in the backseat
Of my friends' adventures
With vices I don't understand
How anyone could ever enjoy.

As the tree of life catches fire,
Melting the fruit upon its pyre,
Its brethren only remember
The warmth of those burning embers.
