My Son

from Gold by Brian Bulger

/

lyrics

You never needed much,
just a conversation
You shuddered at the touch
of simple fascination
Well I cut those ties,
and I slammed that door
With all my lies,
what was I good for?

Dead still in your bed
That joy was killed years ago
Practiced words in your head
You’re showing all you can show

My son, I left you this way
My fortune, was a silver cage
Deep sigh, and your head hung low
Follow my shadow, my shadow

You were the golden child, in a gravel world
They said tame that wild animal
But you can’t rest him, there’s a noise inside
That constant question, who am I?

I’m dead still in my bed
I killed that joy years ago
There’s haunted words in my head
From that letter you wrote
I’m trying to read it
And stand up and face him
‘Cause all that he needed
Was a conversation
