__Verse__

 PGapa had a wife and kids, he kDept them on a leash

 and he bEmid them all to do his every dCeed.

 WhGen he was a kid he was trDeated just the same

 so he hEmid his feelings from his familCy.

__Pre-Chorus__

 Lost as an Gisland out at sDea,

 resEmistant to the gentle waves of Dempathy, yeah!

__Chorus__

 PCapa and his fDamily Emalways on parade

 TCearing through the tDurnstiles, a wEmeekender's charade.

 But tGime will tDell

 as their wCorld crumbDles to hEmell.

 What they creDated...

 ...was a fCamily stDory no Gone will Emtell

 It's a phCoto Dalbum too tGerribEmle

 But the prCide and the pDallor contGinue to swEmell

 And the mCatron sDilently prEmays.

__Pre-Verse__

__Verse__

Junior resented the tradition they upheld

and it ate him up inside most every day

Silence was golden and they kept him to his word

So bewildered when he finally ran away

__Pre-Chorus__

Oh, obligations never cease

Oblivious of the ways to give his soul some peace, yeah!

__Chorus__

Papa and his family always on parade

Passing through the turnstiles, a weekender's charade.

But time will tell

as their world crumbles to hell.

What they created...

...was a family story no one will tell

It's a photo album too terrible

But the pride and the pallor continue to swell

as the matron silently prays.

__Bridge__

 "Get me Gout of here, sDomeone's got to save the dEmay."

 The chCildren are reminded to dDo it for their daddy's sEmake

 And hBmappinEmess is ever so fCar, far awDay

G D Em C

__Pre-Chorus__

Yeah, lost as an island out at sea

Oblivious to the gentle waves of empathy, yeah!

__Final Chorus__ (one addional line!)

Papa and his family always on parade

Tearing through the turnstiles, a weekender's charade

 It's jCust a sick calDamity that fGatherhood mEmade,

but time will tell, as their world crumbles to hell.

What they created...

was a family story no one will tell

It's a photo album too terrible

But the pride and the pallor continue to swell

as the matron silently prays...
