lyrics

Here comes the sick sad nostalgia
And I’m reminded Sylvia’s veil is way too thin
to fool myself that I’m immune
I’m too much like you
to believe I can ever be safe

Now I’m the poet
it’s right there in my name
My head’s in the oven
and I feel the shame
of bearing my last name

Here comes the familiar memory
And I remember I have your DNA
I called you too late
and left a message
God, I still wonder if you listened to me

Now I’m writing letters
and making copies for my kin
Three envelopes on my pillow
And I feel the shame
of signing my last name

Here comes my oldest son
I can’t forget a fact that’s too real
he has no grandfathers
who will teach him
what I learned when I was young

Now I’m the songwriter
I write them with my blood
I’m laying flat in Johnny’s cave
And I feel the shame
of sharing my last name
