Separate Peace

Dear son, how have you been?
I got caught in a fight last year
What's new? Let me see
Seems no one felt nothing for your mother and me
She gets half and half, I get every share
I'm happy without her, but I just wonder, are you there?
No guilt or overcame
I'm loving new girls, 'till I'm back to your age, oh yeah

Can you blame me? Separate me
Do what's right, what's up for me
And I'm bound by separate things
Understand me, can't you see? I don't care

And son, mother's on fire
I see her in the parking lot from time to time
You got drunk, wrecked the car
You're driving me home, but we're going to a bar
It's dark and cold, to be straight
This little drink, it helps me escape
Give up this illusion of man
In the little bottle, I see my family and friends

Can you blame me? Separate me
Do what's right, what's up for me
And I'm bound by separate things
Understand me, can't you see? I don't care

Do what's right, what's up for me
Understand me, can't you see?
Do what's right, what's up for me
Understand me, can't you see?

Oh son, almost forgot
Your brother left his body in a parking lot
Guess it happens all the time
This goddamn future is causing me to laugh
What happened to my careless dad?
He left so early, he was such a man
Oh well, but now he's gone
All you've got to hold is a heart of stone, oh yeah

Can you blame me? Separate me
Do what's right, what's up for me
And I'm bound by separate things
Understand me, can't you see?
Can you blame me? Separate me
Do what's right, what's up for me
And I'm bound by separate things
Understand me, can't you see? I don't care
