Dry Your Tears (suburban bubbles)

Call on me and you gon' see
Everything is gonna be okay
Count on me to dry your tears
Have no fears I'm coming back your way
Cause life is hard but you gon' see
Everything is gonna be okay, call on me
You can call on me, yea

Mom and Dad were happy, the perfect little couple
High School sweethearts, never given any trouble
Living in suburban bubbles is making some weak muscles
So when that weight doubles, it buckles and then you crumble
Disconnect from the love, joy that's been depleted
Just rely on the buzz to help you not feel defeated
Sometimes life is rough, the burdens that it presents
Now let's get back to our ballad of unfortunate events
Graduated college and he's down upon one knee
Honeymoon in Hawaii, the pregnancy guaranteed
But something went wrong, they don't know, she didn't make it
Premonition of the future and heart that couldn't take
Everybody thanked god cause the baby girl survived
Though the cries humanize, eventually sympathize
See her father couldn't cope, she lost him to depression
Drowning in that bottle, it's his new nightly obsession

Call on me and you gon' see
Everything is gonna be okay
Count on me to dry your tears
Have no fears I'm coming back your way
Cause life is hard but you gon' see
Everything is gonna be okay, call on me
You can call on me, yea

Buried deep in the pain and mental status decline
Letting go of his job and family ain't coming by
Waking up everyday hope to sleep in the dirt
Can't look inside of her eyes, just reminds him of the hurt
You see she's the reason, the reason momma's dead
The reason that he has to sleep alone inside of his bed
Get drunk inside of his head with the ghosts of the past
But pushing the blame on her ain't bringing happiness back
Back talk, back hand, back to the back room
Make a little girl grow up a little too soon
Spitting image of her mother, and what she never was
Daddy doesn't seem to notice, until the day he does
Then one night when he had a little much
Crept up in her room with an unfatherly touch
Broke the last line and he raped her innocence
Make a little girl believe not all demons are hell sent

Call on me and you gon' see
Everything is gonna be okay
Count on me to dry your tears
Have no fears I'm coming back your way
Cause life is hard but you gon' see
Everything is gonna be okay, call on me
You can call on me, yea

Now by the age of ten this girl has been through more
Then the one you see standing on the corner in a storm
Today was a bad today, tomorrow's probably worse
Buried deep in the lies, the lives are more inverse
Break the cycle or curse, reconcile the hurt
Broken bonds of a family, so picture perfect at first
To refuse is to lose, accepting the situation
Till the day she came home with that party invitation
Set events in motion, tip over the dominos
Please daddy, please daddy, please you gotta let me go
She begged and pleaded, cried and promised it'd be alright
And put up such a huge fight, continuing through the night
So he threw her in the car, still thinking it's a mistake
Hoping for a couple hours, to use it as an escape
For the first time in a while a smile is on her face
As she walked into that party, that's where Lucy met Jake

Call on me and you gon' see
Everything is gonna be okay
Count on me to dry your tears
Have no fears I'm coming back your way
Cause life is hard but you gon' see
Everything is gonna be okay, call on me
You can call on me, yea
