He walked along the driveway
You played upon the porch
Running along the gravel as his car was taking off
A father that didn’t hold you
When leaving or coming home
And so you were raised believing you should dry your eyes alone
When your own son was broken
When his life was down the drain
Your only advice that one has gotta suffer for to gain
You’ve got blood ties stuffed in your mouth
It’s cold in the cafeteria
The sky faded blue to black
Here comes the nurse relaying that they're gonna use ‘the act’
He shrouded his pain in silence
Now he’s babbling monotone
Because he was raised believing he should dry his eyes alone
I call you and you’re shaken
It’s not how it’s supposed to be
You don’t wanna see your son swinging from his family tree
You’ve got blood ties stuffed in your mouth
Won’t let the truth come tumbling out
About the black sheep running around
It was always you
Is this the way to love
to shrug it off, don’t make a fuss
I don’t know what it takes
to slowly break you open to us
You don’t want to break my heart
so it’s time to talk

Wow. Such an impression, on first listen! I feel so nostalgic for Melbourne; twice was not enough!
Great tune. Will investigate more of this artist’s work.
Good grove, a 6 that can grow.
EDIT: up to 7 on 2nd listening !

Had me double guessing the artist (you probably know who) but rougher
Fresh, but familiar sound. Instant connection. Thanks, Bill
Beautifully written song. It has a raw, intimate feeling that really pulls you in, and the vocals carry a lot of emotion without feeling overdone. Great atmosphere.
