lyrics

Fragmented family
Framed in marriage and DNA
Formed in lines, upon a tree
How fragile it all can become
When death brings its sting
And Facebook drama
Unveils the masquerade
Removes the masks we’ve made
The music comes to an end
And we are stuck rewinding it to no end
Treating wounds, that never mend
May we choose to lend
Some forgiveness again

Fragmented family
Failing to connect
Fighting to forget
Foolishly forming walls
For others to climb
Fixating on endless problems
Failing to solve one

Fucking cousins
Frolicking around
Singing that Frozen song
“Let it Go! Let it Go!”
I have not the words to say
For this abomination in the way

Family food used to be so much fun
Squeezing way too much food into our stomachs
Rubbing elbows with people we can barely stomach
What a mess of a meal we consume
Then throw each other in the fridge
Like leftovers we seal in a tomb
Is there not room
For us to capture
One last picture with the elephant
We all fled from in fear
Fleeing the scene
Pleading innocence to the crime
But there are fingerprints
All over the damn place
Hugs that I can’t un-embrace
Death stops us in our tracks
Breaks such ties
That we thought, could never break
Love wrapped in obligation
Is fraudulent and fake
But if we’re all being honest
we have all eaten that cake
We’ve all failed to be the family we wish
But let’s not blow out the candles on this birthday cake
This flame may not be eternal
But... I think it has more days to blaze
Fragmented and broken
But family we are.
