It was fathers day on sunday
And my dad was really happy
he saw two of his grown three boys
I'll be honest it was sappy

And while my brothers were over,
he was indeed always grinning
In all the photos we took
with his grandkids, he was winning

And the most important part
was that he was able
to congratulate his sons on being new fathers
as we all sat to eat at the table

And as soon as everyone left,
he let out a sigh
he heaved himself into his bedroom
so we wouldn't hear him cry

because his third son,
the youngest of his boys
didn't even bother to show up
he was the silence in the noise

his absence was louder than anything
his lack of presence left a hole
and nothing any of us did
could possibly console

Not even a happy fathers day
to the dad who cared for him
and now I think everyone
has lost their faith in him.

And no longer can he blame
his psychopathic partner
because this one's on him
and he's pushed us all farther.

So I hope it was worth it
I hope your day went well
because you're completely different in my eyes
From your pedestal, you've fell (fallen)
