about

I wrote this song about my dad, mostly for myself, partly for his birthday today (Halloween, 2013). He's probably the one person I'd consider my hero--I look up to him and admire him for everything he's done for our family.
The title references a disorder we share--Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia, Type 1.

lyrics

i showed up way too late to hang
i always called when i was outside, but now i ring the bell
now we just fall asleep again
i've heard a lot of people say i sound just like my dad when he sings in a microphone
i guess i understand. but i'll never be the man he was to me as a kid--i want to be like him. a little more like him.

i wake up every morning with too much acid in my gut, it seems to wake me up.
i guess i've got my genes to blame. it's alright dad, it's not your fault.
you took the hit for all of us that freezing Christmas Eve.
you spent the night in jail. i cried the whole way back from hell and fell asleep.

do your hopes hang low?
does it hurt your brain?
did you sweat like hell when the fever came?

do your hopes hang low?
does it smell like rain?
i'm floating right into the storm drain.
