family politics

(album: unamerican beauty - 2022)

Every single day that I'm alive
I'm just happy I survived
To tell the tale
Of you and I
I learned the hard way
'What is love?'
A brother joined by blood
Who I don't see anymore

And every time you spoke
Every single word
Every syllable heard
Was a twist of the knife
I'd give back
As good as I got
But I never felt better
Only more lost
But I still think

Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine

Felt like everyone had picked your side
Like I was ostracized
But it's been some time
And I've realized

Maybe you felt the same as me
No fruit left on the trees
But seasons change
And so did we

But everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine

Time takes the sting away
But the rest of it stays
So watch what you say
To the ones that you love
Time takes the sting away
But the rest of it stays
So watch what you say
To the one that you love

Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
