Lyrics to The Complete Family
We walked down the block through the dead trees
You were smiling
And i was smiling too
From the time we were little
You were always taller, thinner
You were a kind a lanky matt dillon
I was strong but awkward
And born with an armor of imagination
I loved music
And so did you
But you loved those loud guitars
And venom
That venom with a lost angry sadness
While i lived in the sadness
I remember roy orbison on an am radio
All falsetto and loneliness
That day was so sharp it cut through glass and warmed the carpet underneath me
You were out with your friends
Your best friend’s name was ray
He’s in jail now
A few weeks ago you were sentenced as well
I sat in my room still surrounded by a sad song thinking
30 years
It’s been 30 years
And you’re gonna be in there for 30 years
Now i remember that day you had just gotten out of rehab
And i was happy to see you
Happy to hope
That from that point forward
All would be better
And i was proud of you
And we were going home
The complete family
A complete family
Just you and me
Mom and dad
A complete family
