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 grandpa's Tommy's
Blackout
Am I better now?
I saw my family off their face as I was graduating
And that's how
You, 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 (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, 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, 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
Oh, I'm so sorry

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
