lyrics

The last time that we spoke we didn’t speak at all
Didn’t say a single civil word, no
Just like we always were going back to the beginning
Back to that house so filled with rage
You like to looked down that long nose of yours
Thought that I was just a fuck up
Never saw past the surface to what was underneath
No that was not your job

Well I recall when your son said I was the black sheep
I wondered how he came to that
No I don’t wonder at all because I why he thought it
He was just repeating the tales that he heard
Don’t know what I ever did earn the mantle
I don’t remember doing shitty things
Maybe it’s the story you have inside your head
And you don’t wanna wreck the narrative

I remember the lousy gifts you sent to my kid
A crappy old book and a crummy sweater
I know you must think you are generous to a fault
But you aren’t and you never been
You weren’t there when I smashed into that tree
You weren’t there there when I broke my leg
You weren’t there when my daughter was born
No weren’t there for nothing

I know you think I’m a miserable ne’re-do-well
Never amount to nothing more than squat
I know you think I’m a failure at life
All my endeavors have come to nil
So this is why I’m writing this song to you
I want to make it plain and clear
To me you are not my sister you’re an alien
Like the creature from the black lagoon
