Danger Starts

Bled to death in a bathroom Forever humming a sad tune Memories wish I could tattoo Dad I've been meaning to ask you Were you scared when you died? Or did you feel relief? Were you terrified, or just at peace? When I came to collect your things, fourteen only a kid Fingerprints on magazines, milk still in the fridge It was like you had just stepped out, items all in their place But there was one thing left out, you, blank space Did you care about family? Did you wish you'd abandon me? Now you can't see what I became Too weak to try to change Can't speak I'm so angry Recall your voice just vaguely Sorta seems like lately, man it's all fading And I worry that my life might be some kinda facsimile Your doomed trajectory silently impressed on me Shit happens to everyone, but this story's mine And I can't help but think I'm next in line [Hook sampled from beginning of "Elephants" by Warpaint] I'll break your heart to keep you far from where all danger starts Drank til the bottle ran out, now we got a man down And it made no sound Except the crack of his skull on the ground Dad, did it fade out easily? Did you see the light? Were you sad to be leaving me or just sick of life? Tried desperately to get you sober Dope hidden in the trunk, doubled over Red spots on the tile Couldn't understand as a child Still really don't and you're long gone so I really won't Never really know what it meant, if anything at all Left with nothing but what I can recall Objects are imbued with the essence of you but I sense that it's false Mind playing tricks phone messages but you'll never get the calls If you had the chance to say one thing Would you tell me that you love me? I hope so, carry you everywhere I go [Hook sampled from beginning of "Elephants" by Warpaint] I'll break your heart to keep you far from where all danger starts
