Dad

Well I was born with a restless heart
It was broken when I came out
You were lookin' at some art, ignored me right from the start
Only noticed when I broke anything
I wanted your attention so I started to get mention
from the police blotter and truancy
But there was nothing I can do, people just don't interest you
you're busy and that's the way it'll stay

I started throwing everything away
I don't like to keep things, they just get in the way
I sold everything of value that I had
It's good to know we'll be soon with you, dad
We were always friends much more than fam

Cos you were born with a restless heart
Same as your dad and the one before
All of our forefathers drinking up the firewater
Living like a blessing and curse
I can't hold money and I sure ain't got no honey
When I do get some it makes it all worse
This self-destructive tendency has surely got the best of me
I think you'd like my friend, she's a nurse

Now I got nothing left to throw away
In this total emptiness I found my liberty
I burned everything that I had wrote to you
Sometimes I miss you oh so bad
We were always friends much more than fam, dad

When we meet up we will have ourselves a time
You always brought the party, knew that fun was not a crime
I'm writing our full name up in the sky
You were never simple, it drove me mad
You're the best friend that I never had, dad
