Naked At A Family Function

At home you were laying the stones for your future plans
Just like your father did
Just like your mother did
Looking through a window pane
It’s ok, you were never one to risk it anyway
Just like your father was
Just like your mother was
Standing before them head down
Don’t be afraid to let them see
What it is that makes you feel alive
It’s not enough to say what you want
It’s not enough to wait for tomorrow
Your friends like to pretend that their happiness will never end
Just like their parents who
Learned from the parents too
You won’t ever change
You’ll stay the same as long as you let things stand in your way
Just like your father did
Just like your mother did
