letra de independence day - lucy kaplansky

Loading...

i’ve been obligated to another soirée in that bland suburban town
there’s the prince with his loyal subjects, everybody’s drinking bowing down
now he’s bear hugging that tedious cousin while looking right past me
‘cause i didn’t like the way he spoke to me back in 2013

and per usual like i’m invisible or dead the festivities proceed
i watch him vilify me sotto voce while they nod empathetically
treading so carefully for fear of his legendary rage
and i’m the onе that’s sacrificed, that’s fine, it’s all okay

for years i bought thе myth of the happy family
but it’s a house of venom, lies and complicity

this is where it ends, this is where it ends
not setting foot in that house again
this is where it ends

i always did as i was told, took the blows, never did let on
so well behaved, watched what i’d say, like nothing could be wrong
such a worthless expertise you twist and strangle all the time

walking around with two black eyes like everything is fine
always polite, never fight
till one day i started to ignite
like a supernova gonna burn that house down
this is where it ends, this is where it ends
not setting foot in that house again
this is where it ends

we can’t choose how we come into this world
but we can choose who we’re gonna be and what we’re gonna be

another summons to a family affair this time fourth of july
i’ve been invited to appear, but i’ve resolutely declined
i’ve made my own family, people who i want to see
we practice kindness and loyalty and love and care and honesty

gonna watch the fireworks here today
it’s my world now and here i’ll stay
it’s independence day

this is where it ends, this is where it ends
not setting foot in that house again
this is where it ends
