Button Down Lyrics by Danny Fishman

Shatter and Fade

2022

I remember watching you get dressed for work
A vandal’s smile in your button down long sleeve shirt
I wanted to be you so bad it hurt
I wouldn’t trade those days for anything on earth

But

I remember drifting gently through the nights
Listening from upstairs to the bitter fights
Hit her hard, push her down, twist and turn the knife
That’s when
I began to understand something wasn’t right

As we grew up, you got worse every single day
When we screwed up well there was always hеll to pay
It didn’t matter what I did or didn’t say
I started wishing on the nights to carry mе away

Cause I’d sooner die than watch you fall from grace

Now I’m putting on my own button down long sleeve shirt
Getting ready for another long day at work
Like a martyr to a cause without any worth
Now you’re protected from the jury but the judge still burns

And I’m afraid of letting anyone get too close
For fear that I will be the next son to explode
How could anyone be asked to share this load
With a kid still getting dressed in his father’s clothes

But I’d rather die than watch you die alone

I remember watching you get dressed for work
