dad. from standing by Brave Hands

habits causing heart attacks and you're framing more easily now. mountain standard time just warped you. swapping criminal stories of a life i used to know, i tried to never be that boy. we choose tp blame it on the water not what we're actually made of. i've tried to scream your ship is sinking, please just maintain that grace. your father's flag still rests on my nightstand waiting for the answers. busy settling while sidewalks tell the stories of our worst walks. innocence breaks it all off, these are the stories of our lives. and i'd rather things go left unsaid even if we're already somewhat dead inside. the stripes leave their mark and i'm not giving up. you're not failing yet just giving up come back to life, your whiskey breath hasn't laughed in so long. you haven't laughed in so long.
