Hemenway Variety - Tell Me, Son Lyrics

But can you show me the way inside your heart
But can you give me a reason I should start
Got your mind set on the past
Telling myself it won't last

If we're turning then i'm burning every bridge I see
Just to run from all the problems you put behind me
Saw you goin' down when you came around
And now I'm on in a minute with another song
You now question my confessions and that's fine with me
I'll wear it down, try something out, I need a new ID
Life is leaving me so worn
You don't know what it's all for
And somehow each day, somewhere I hear you say

Tell me, son
Where did you go
Tell me, son
Did you outgrow
Fables of men you don't know
Tell me, son
Tell me, Leo
Tell me, son
Where did you go
Tell me, son
Did you outgrow
Fables of men you don't know
Tell me, son
Tell me, Leo

All the signs, I see them move, but I don't have a care
I'm exhausted and i'm lost from what's been in the air
You held the bottle so steady
Then drank the poison that's deadly
And now can't stop, yet I wonder where I went wrong
I'm not acclaimed, no bit of fame, so shit, forget my name
For what it's worth, when I was hurt I hid it with my shame
Keep the peace in this household
Heat it up, knock it out cold
And don't look back
Till' you find out where the feast is at

Tell me, son
Where did you go
Tell me, son
Did you outgrow
Fables of men you don't know
Tell me, son
Tell me, Leo
Tell me, son
Where did you go
Tell me, son
Did you outgrow
Fables of men you don't know
Tell me, son
Tell me, Leo

And though we've never said a word from our own
We try to live in the absurd in this home
You're out of time to live and learn, what's done is done
No rights been kept to see your son
I guess I won

Tell me, son
Where did you go
Tell me, son
Did you outgrow
Fables of men you don't know
Tell me, son
Tell me, Leo
