It's A Family Movie She Hates Her Dad

(album: Why Would I Watch - 2023)

Blackout
Am I better now?

Dinner table yelling at the television
Getting high before noon
Your sister stole your pills again

Won't you ever learn a little
Try and cut the cord
Hit the lights
See the space heater drying up the floorboards

Offer nothing, never change
Look inside us all the same
You'll find nothing you can save
But try and stitch up grandpas Tommy's

Blackout
Am I better now?
I saw my family off their face as I was graduating
And that's how
You pass it down
Can't pretend like you wanted that

Sit me down and give me the confessional
Stay together for the kid
Isn't that original

Never know
I'll grow up and learn that we were poor
Money talks
But it never tells you love is more important

Nothing special
Family name
I'll never find the will to change
And if I could, I would stay the same

Blackout
Am I better now?
I saw my family off their face as I was graduating
And that's how
You pass it down
Hereditary maybe see if I grow into something

So now it's bottles breaking
See the whole house is shaking
Let's open up, tear down the walls, and sink into the basement
And that's how
You pass it down
Can't pretend like you wanted that
You pass it down

Always selfish, still the same
Maybe I've been in the way
Don't cast shame
I'm so sorry

Blackout
Am I better now?
I saw my family off their face as I was graduating
And that's how
You pass it down
Hereditary maybe see if I grow into something

So now it's bottles breaking
See the whole house is shaking
Let's open up, tear down the walls, and sink into the basement
And that's how
You pass it down
Can't pretend like you wanted that
You pass it down

Now it's bottles breaking
The whole house is shaking
See it's bad foundation
Oh, you've grown complacent
Now it's bottles breaking
The whole house is shaking
So just have one but don't have trust or any conversations
