lyrics

The wrecking ball is scheduled to arrive today
my father’s house is coming down
5 tons of steel can not destroy all my memories
but I can watch them hit the ground
wood and glass, brick and stone
all the ghosts who lingered have long since flown

I can still hear the garage door opening
just enough time to run upstairs
in my room i could be spared undue reckoning
staying out of his cross hairs
you start to pick up on the clues
all the little things it would take to blow a fuse

it’s over now
seems so small as it tumbles earthbound
I forage for forgiveness
neath the shattered walls of madness scattered all around

My Father’s house had eggshells across every floor
that’s bad news for this clumsy child
I learned to fear the smell of old spice and nicotine
and the hint of vodka in his smile
too many walls too many rooms
a well-seasoned pot roast with just a dash of doom
it’s over now
seems so small as it tumbles earth-bound
‘neath the shattered walls of madness
i forage for forgiveness
scattered all around

The wrecking ball is scheduled to arrive today
my father’s house is coming down
