Your Only Son Lyrics by Jeff Hanson

Madam Owl

2008

The pain was on your face
As they sat you down and told you by your side
Haven't we grown tired of all their old lies?
Their talk of sacrifice
They went just by the book
Told us everything we saw while nobody looked
Suddenly we're caught under this dark sky
But they don't mind
No they don't mind
I recall you screaming on the line
You gave up everything
But they don't seem to know you now
And if you keep it all inside
He was your only son
How we've heard it all before
He should've had all the time that he wanted
He was your only living boy
You can say what you like
Cause they won't ever follow you
Follow you
It's in our living rooms
So it's placed down in the drains
And in our minds
So easily they got us all to one side
But we don't mind
No we don't mind
I recall you falling to the ground
You gave up everything
But they don't seem to owe you now
And if we keep it all inside
