Dad Told Me

Dad Told Me - Hello Saferide

There's sadness in the family

Dad told me

Let's not speak of it

It only brings us down

And there's sadness in the DNA

I've known it

I've felt it in the pavement of this town

I've lived my life with a backpack

That was never mine to carry

Heard it's constant whine saw it's body

That was never mine to bury

I've been kept from held from knowing

Daddy that's why it keeps on growing

Well I found the dead animal

The smell stems from

I found the secret from which

The shadow was cast

I searched and searched

And now that I found it

I wanna give it back

I searched and searched

And now that I found it

I wanna give it back

There's trouble in the family I tell you

I'm knowing now that I do

Kid I'm passing it on to you

But let's not speak of it son

It only brings us down

But let's not speak of it son

It only brings us down
