Leroy

Taste the ocean, the salt water tears

Consumed by pride, you’ve wasted twenty years

What is it that you still fear?

What is it that keeps you here?

Lavished streams, and golden gates

But the emptiness, is keeping you awake

What makes you so proud?

What do you know about your son now

Isn’t it so funny that you tell me that you care

When I’m over here and you’re still way over there

Now your son has a son of his own that you never see

You’ve never known him, and you don’t know me

Clinging desire, keeping close to empty worth

While you run your love and family into the dirt

What is it that makes you breathe?

What is it that you can’t leave?

Forged in lies, to disguise the guilt that you feel

But son and grandson are two things that are real

How can you say that you care

When I’m sitting here and you’re still over there?

Isn’t it so funny that you tell me that you care

When I’m over here and you’re still way over there

Now your son has a son of his own that you never see

You’ve never known him, and you don’t know me

I don’t call you family

You’ve always had me

But you threw me away

The exact same way

You discarded him before

I’m knocking on your door

Answer me, I’m prepared

Answer me if you still care

Did you ever really care?

I don’t think so, I don’t think so

‘Cause every chance you’ve had

You’ve turned your back

Did you ever really care?

I don’t think so, I don’t think so

‘Cause every chance you’ve had

You’ve turned your back

Isn’t it so funny that you tell me that you care

When I’m over here and you’re still way over there

Now your son has a son of his own that you never see

You’ve never known him, and you don’t know me

Now your son has a son of his own that you never see

You've never known him and you don't know me
