The Family Canvas
I am canvas, tainted, torn and stainedI am lonesome, broken, blind and lameWe are all living in hell, we are half a portraitLike father like son: half faced and overrunBy the fear of knowing loveWhat the hell have we becomeDestroy me or let me goYou have painted us outDestroy me or let me goYou have stolen time that was oursUgly canvas, broken frame, defaced by an open flamePain, let goPicture perfect, keep painting on facesWe'd never see you're only saving yourselfPicture perfect, your secret lifeYour onlyThe open door swung back and forthI've had enough of the "ladadadadada", "where have you been so long"This is political, this is your family"Son, where have you been, where have you been so longTossed from east to west like chaff blown to and froPlease come back to us, we can be whole againSon, come back to us"Home, where is my home, there is no home for meThis place is emptyFather of my father you've never known meLetras de cancionesYou've never seen my heartPlease let me goWhen we all grow older the world won't want usO, when it feels it feels like you never didThis holiday we will all be aloneYou won't be wholeWe will never be what you wantedWe will never be picture perfectI won't be the canvas, I won't be the curseThe sound of shame in our throats
