lyrics

I wake up to the sound of my father downstairs
making bacon and eggs
the time has come
it’s today

so, did you come home my son
Adam, I need to talk to you
what more can I say
you have to hear what I have to say

I don’t, I don’t know a lot
but what I do, what I do know is that
it’s not your fault

Elijah, what are you trying to say
I’m trying to say that you and I are the same
oh Elijah, son, I’m not some gay
that’s not the point dad
we’re both afraid

we’re afraid, we’re afraid of our father’s fucking face
trying to beat out anything standing in the way
in the way of making sure we’re saved
so, we’re not cast astray
by some God on some judgement day

you know, I don’t want to be afraid
and I think deep down you want to change
Adam, you can change
it just doesn’t have to be this way

Elijah, stop it, don’t you push me this way
no, dad, dad this is what I need to say
you keep it up, you keep it up and that’s it, that’s it, okay
go ahead, hit me, kick me out if I’m such a fucking disgrace
I don’t know what my grandfather did to you
if he abused you, bruised you, confused you or used you
dad, you’re not him
don’t be
it’s not your fault you see
it’s not your fault
it’s not your fault
it’s not your fault
dad it’s just not, it’s not your fault
