Dad Told Me Lyrics by Hello Saferide

The Fox, the Hunter and Hello Saferide

2014

[Verse 1]
There's sadness in the family, Dad told me
Let's not speak of it, it only brings us down
And there's sadness in the DNA, I've known it
I've felt it in the pavements of this town
[Verse 2]
I've lived my life with a backpack that
Was never mine to carry
Heard its constant whine
Saw its body that was never mine to bury
[Verse 3]
There's trouble in the genes, Dad told me
Don't ask again, best we don't bring it up
Dad, it seems you can't clear away the smoke
Of fires you can't find
[Verse 4]
I've lived my life with a longing
That I can't identify
I've been kept from, held from knowing
Daddy, that's why it keeps on growing
[Verse 5]
I found the dead animal the smell stems from
I found the story from which the shadow was cast
I searched and searched and now that I found it
I want to give it back
I searched and searched and now that I found it
I want to give it back
[Verse 6]
There's trouble in the family, I tell you
I know and now that I do
Kid, I'm passing it on to you
But let's not speak of it, son
It only brings us down
But let's not speak of it, son
It only brings us down
