[Verse 1]
Growing up in a house in Pennsylvania with a backyard and a bike
Every morning, something sinister would take to me
I learned I never was one for starting fights
But now I know that I can end them if need be
[Verse 2]
Fading in to a bread basket town, drinking from the cup
Every Sunday in the tarnished gold, they swore they saw their own reflection
It's scratched, and cracked, and warped, and it's bleeding down the lip
But they seem to think it's a faithful interpretation
[Chorus]
And I know you aren't so set in your ways
And you deserve to know that I changed my name
I know it's nothing you can justify
But I hope it's something you can reconcile
[Verse 3]
The whites of their eyes fill up with snow
Running red from reaping seeds they never wanted to sew
Driving wasted back home from another sorry New Years Eve
The thought of it always there like a flickering screen
[Bridge]
And I can't imagine how it felt
The last thing your kid ever sees is asphalt
The callous, cold click of a father's rejection
His face pulverised from their recollection
[Chorus]
So I thank my lucky stars you aren't so set in your ways
My breath's still shaking when I tell you that I changed my name
And I know it's nothing you can justify
But I hope it's something you can reconcile
Oh, I thank my Lucky Stars you aren't so set in your ways
My breath's still shaking when I tell you that I changed my name
And I know it's nothing you can justify
But I hope it's something you can reconcile
[Outro]
Yeah, I hope that's something you can reconcile
