AXEL TRIPS

Damien Wong

AND I FRONT
LIKE I DON’T GIVE A FUCK
BUT THE TRUTH IS
I CAN’T FIND THE WORDS TO SAY

WHEN IN ALL OF MY YEARS
IT’S NEVER BEEN QUITE AS CLEAR
THAT THE MAN IN THE MIRROR
ISN’T ME

WHEN ALL YOU HAVE LEFT IS THE PAIN
A VOICE THAT GOES
“OH NO, DADDY DON’T GO
I CAN’T FUCKIN STAND IT WHEN YOU LEAVE
WHEN THE WORLD GETS TOO TOUGH
AND WHEN YOU JUST HAVE HAD ENOUGH
JUST KNOW THAT I CAN CARRY YOU
THE WAY THAT YOU CARRIED ME”

I THINK YOU LOST IT MY FRIEND
YOU’VE BEEN LOCKED INSIDE YOUR HEAD AGAIN
YOU MAY AS WELL BE DEAD
CAUSE THEN THEY WOULDN’T HAVE TO WATCH YOU
WALK AROUND THE WAY YOU DO

I GUESS I THOUGHT THAT YOU’D BE ENOUGH
TO KEEP ME GROUNDED WITH YOUR UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
BUT YOUR DADDY’S HURTING
AND HE CAN’T STAND THE BURDEN
THAT’S BEEN BURIED IN ME
SINCE I WAS ONLY A BOY

SO RIPLEY BANE WON’T YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR BROTHER
AND TELL YOUR MOTHER I LOVE HER
AND I ALWAYS WILL
AND DON’T YOU DARE SHED NO TEARS FOR ME
DRY YOUR CHEEKS AND I’LL BE WITH YOU
EVERY TIME YOU FEEL YOUR HEART BEAT

AND IF YOU NEED ME
WELL YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME WHEN I’M GONE
I MIGHT BE A SHITTY FUCKING FATHER
AND AN EVEN WORSE SON

BUT IF IN ALL OF MY LIFE
THERE’S ONE THING I CAN DO RIGHT
I’LL PUT THAT PAIN INTO A SONG
THAT’LL GET YOU THROUGH THE NIGHT

AND IF YOU NEED ME
WELL YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME WHEN I’M GONE
I MIGHT BE A SHITTY FUCKING FATHER
AND AN EVEN WORSE SON

BUT IF IN ALL OF MY LIFE
THERE’S ONE THING I CAN DO RIGHT
I’LL PUT THAT PAIN INTO A SONG
THAT’LL GET YOU THROUGH THE NIGHT

AND MY WIFE JUST SMILES
AS SHE SAYS TO ME:
“SO HUSH LITTLE BABY
YOU’RE DRIVING ME CRAZY
WITH ALL OF YOUR WORRIES AND FEARS
I KNOW YOU’VE GOT A CALLING
BUT YOU’VE GOTTA STOP YOUR BAWLING
CAUSE THE WORLD MIGHT NOT GET IT
BABY BOY BUT I’M HERE”

“WE BELIEVE IN YOU PAPA
I’LL BE HERE WAITING WITH MY BROTHER AND MOTHER
SO WHEN YOU’RE READY-FREDDY
WHY DON’T YOU COME BACK HOME”

YOU’RE NEVER ALONE

IN THE END, ALL THE BULLSHIT I’VE BEEN THROUGH
ALL THE SELF-LOATHING I CLING TO
REALLY DON’T MEAN A THING
WHEN YOU PUT IT UP AGAINST ALL THE LIVES I’VE TOUCHED
AND ALL THE PEOPLE WHO’VE BEEN THERE FOR ME EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
TO ANYBODY WHO SHOOK MY HAND
AND TOLD ME I’VE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR LIFE
AND TO ALL THE KIDS WHO STAY AWAKE AND CRY THEMSELVES TO SLEEP AT NIGHT
YOU’RE NEVER ALONE, KID
CAUSE I’M RIGHT THERE WITH YOU
AND I’VE ALWAYS GOT YOUR BACK
