(album: Ripely Pine - 2013)

You are my grandfather's son
And for that reason I need you near
And on my inside I'm haggard
And on some insides there are vultures
If they begin to ravage your love
Don't cower
Or run for cover
Don't feel bad you've got to drown or smother
Smother them
I can't say whether I believe hearts are cultured
I can't say whether I can or whether it matters
Maybe hearts are better, better bitter
Battered, filthy, vulgar
Maybe that's why the broken lonely ones
Hold on a little longer
But all I know
All I know
All I know
All I know
And all I know
And all I know
Cause I want to see you
I want to see you
I want to see you
I want to see you
And I want to see you
And I want to see you see all those countries
Maybe I'm my own mother
I'll always take care of my brother
But you are my family now too
How I loved you then
How I will
How I do
How I do
