[Alkaline Trio - Straight from the Jacket lyrics]
So sorry son, you're worrying your mother
No explanation's gonna make it seem all right
Young boy, listen to your father
It's more than just your life
It's more than suicide
How does it feel?
When you're looking down the barrel
Of a loaded gun? Tell me how it feels
Did you see your life flash
Right before your eyes?
Stop playing games and get yourself
Up off the floor
Young boy, we're gonna send you to the lions
The men all dressed in white
When you became undone
How does it feel when I
Might have brought you up
But, you are not my son?
Tell me how it feels
So many times I tried to bring you up
You brought me down
I won't consider you again
Stop looking at me like you care
I worked my fingers to the bone
I'm not your father or your friend
You might have lived here once
But this is not your home
Tell me how it fees
You don't mean much to me
I didn't plant the seed
I'm not your father 'cause you
Didn't turn out right
Young boy, we're gonna feed you to the fire
It's more than just your life
It's more than suicide
How does it feel? How does it feel?
How does it feel?
When you're looking down a barrel
Of a loaded gun
No explanation's gonna make it seem all right
Young boy, listen to your father
It's more than just your life
It's more than suicide
How does it feel?
When you're looking down the barrel
Of a loaded gun? Tell me how it feels
Did you see your life flash
Right before your eyes?
Stop playing games and get yourself
Up off the floor
Young boy, we're gonna send you to the lions
The men all dressed in white
When you became undone
How does it feel when I
Might have brought you up
But, you are not my son?
Tell me how it feels
So many times I tried to bring you up
You brought me down
I won't consider you again
Stop looking at me like you care
I worked my fingers to the bone
I'm not your father or your friend
You might have lived here once
But this is not your home
Tell me how it fees
You don't mean much to me
I didn't plant the seed
I'm not your father 'cause you
Didn't turn out right
Young boy, we're gonna feed you to the fire
It's more than just your life
It's more than suicide
How does it feel? How does it feel?
How does it feel?
When you're looking down a barrel
Of a loaded gun
