Dendron The Hotelier

[Verse 1: Christian Holden]
You cut your ties, felt better off
Salutations to your son
Awoke to find you heading out
With your white collar undone
You placed a bar, I played a game
To see how low that I could go
We develop mental pictures
And we’re following our fathers down the drain

[Verse 2: Christian Holden]
Do you recall the imagery
From when I drove you away?
Through others’ rose prescription lens
Man, I’m sorry every day
Because we intersect internally
And then we take what we have and we run
And it all starts to unravel
Until we’re less than we were carrying before
Yes, I expected more

[Chorus: Christian Holden, Chris Hoffman, Christine Atturio, Chris & Christine]
Wake me, wake me up
Pictures of you smiling in times when I just couldn’t be around
Hold me, hold me up
Count my rings to see how many winters I’ve been stuck here underground
Swore I’d not burn out
Digging through the memories that made you feel alive when you were young
You were right to doubt
Broken since foundations in the structures you were building came undone
