casement window - bounds of modesty lyrics

all of glasglow airport’s up and alive at 5am
woke up on my luggage
heavy eyelids won’t get lighter
but i’m not here for a holiday
i’ll take a left on the west end
where the accident on george square happened
when we touched the ground, the reports came in, and tragedy fueled the week
keep staring at paintings of the town i grew up in through the night
i can’t close an eye
reminded i got no one to come home to
i suffocate in the sheets tonight
we spent christmas eve at the diner
‘cross the bridge over the interstate
we’d reminisce in the west park hotel
and i would lie and that i was doing okay

i’m sorry, dad, but i moved on
you can’t keep blaming the world for your f-ckups
it took eight years, but i gave it a home
it’s buried deep, but i’m never alone

he can’t get to sleep, so i’ll keep him company talking ’bout
how life went down
staying up late and remembering grandma
she was a good wife. he was proud

though i still smile the way that i used to
it’s just my eyes losing signs of life
’cause i am dead sure i’ll never be able to love like that
but god knows i tried
and i keep the picture i got from your funeral
close to me
though i can’t face it
it’s been obstructed behind my curtains
i’m scared to death that you’re judging me
i am a hurt half-orphan hand-grenade
fuming hot, rigged to blow
and i still get mad that you left a hole this big
that i know i can’t blame you for

i’m sorry, dad, but i moved on
you can’t keep blaming the world for your f-ckups
it took eight years, but i gave it a home
it’s buried deep, but i’m never alone

i bought a shirt today, and i think you would’ve liked it
why don’t your favorite colors ever look good on me?

even my old bedroom up in the attic smells the same
it hasn’t aged a day
a solemn light from the cas-m-nt window
makes me wonder why i stayed
should’ve left home when i was sixteen
you could’ve stopped to pretend to care
but i was weak and needed guidance
but funny enough, you weren’t even there

i’m sorry, dad, but i moved on
you can’t keep blaming the world for your f-ckups
it took eight years, but i gave it a home
it’s buried skin deep, but some nights, i’m alone
i’m sorry, dad, but i moved on
i’m sorry, dad, but i moved on

they say i got her eyes!
they say that i resemble you more than i do my father
they say i got her smile!
but they tell me i should use it a little more often
i’m trying. believe me
you’re not the first one to see it
but this is all that i’ll be for now
