Paternal Reversal Lyrics - Bayside

Tony, your life's not over 

But you've given up all you lived for 

Put the bottle down 

And fix the thing you ran from 

Do you say what you really mean? 

Are you really how you're perceived to be? 

If the lights go out tomorrow, would you know? 

I don't wanna call your family 

And tell them to build a coffin 

Because their oldest son just overdosed on pills 

You've got a red glare in your eyes 

And the sky outside your door's a blacker blue 

I hate to see what's become of you 

Tony, it's just a stick in the spokes 

It's not too late for you to find your way home 

Because your friends are still here 

And your family's where you left them 

So put on a clear head and try it out for a ride 

Because you're better than this 

And you can better your life, you can't choose your father 

We're suffering together 

I don't wanna call your family 

And tell them to build a coffin 

Because their oldest son just overdosed on pills 

You've got a red glare in your eyes 

And the sky outside your door's a blacker blue 

I hate to see what's become of you 

You're getting closer to the end of your rope 

I never thought you'd let yourself get so cold 

But lately I've been thinking 

About all the things I said to you 

And now I need to prove that 

I didn't mean it when I said 

That you were dead to me 

You mean the world to me 

I don't wanna call your family 

And tell them to build a coffin 

Because their oldest son just overdosed on pills 

You've got a red glare in your eyes 

And the sky outside your door's a blacker blue 

I hate to see what's become of you
