Outside Looking In

Let me begin back where it started
Back in my home town in old Kentucky
The stars above me gave no solace
For eighteen years I kept to my music
Hid from the others, detached from family
The reasons why I'll describe to you
This, a typical night after my father got home
I don't remember why he started the fight but he would always find a reason
I was up in my room with a guitar to my ear
I tried to drown it out
But still I could hear
It always got loud before the end
I learned to stay away
That's how I got through each day
And from the outside looking in I made it through
Father passed away when I was seventeen
He drank himself to death
His apparition still made sure that mom and I were distant
She never did change and she would follow in his footsteps with the drink
A numb reminder and a kind of anesthetic
On the day that I left she sat upon the couch beside my old guitar
And as I walked out her only words were "lock it on your way out"
That was six years ago the day I left
I won't go that way again
From the outside looking in I have no reason
But I will digress, I confess there was a detail I left out
The one who loved me so I extol
His name was Ollie
My dear companion who would never stray
Who had no bitter words to say
Ollie
The only would who ever heard my call
Who stood beside me through it all
I got the call, my friend, that you had finally left us
And no I feel I have to come back home and tell you goodbye
And it all feels a bit strange
I see how nothing has changed
Yes, from the outside looking in it's still the same

We're Not The Same

I feel the same
And all those things he did to you he did to me
And so much more, we are the
Same one
Same thing
We are the same
You are the same thing
The same traits I saw in him I now see in you
And you're a sad reminder
All I had was Ollie
Same one
Same thing
We're not the same
Sorry the room I made for you throughout your life always came second to my own
Well now, if that's the case it should be of no surprise
The only thing that mattered died
Ollie
Ollie
He never mattered either way
You never treated me the same
Honestly this is hard for me
And I will never feel the same after digging a grave for Ollie

Ollie
My dear companion who would never stray
For me, no one would say the same
Ollie
I'm not the one who stayed right at your side
Do I deserve to say goodbye?
If I could only care without a care just like him
You shouldn't have to fix what I broke
No, you can't take all the fault
Ollie
I know you loved him and that he loved you
For him, what else was there to do?
I abandoned Ollie
Now that I'm home again, I've come to find
I've left the both of you behind
When I was held inside a broken home, there you were
You always came when I called
With you there, I had hope
Ollie, sometimes without you I don't know what's left

For Mom

|
Now look what we've done
We made it fall apart
Oh brother
But at least it's not too late to restart
When I'm home again you'll let me in, I know
I can't promise it, but I'll give it my all
