Paternal Reversal

Tony, your life's not over
 But you've given up all you lived for
 Put the bottle down
 And fix the thing you ran from
 Do you say what you really mean?
 Are you really how you're perceived to be?
 If the lights go out tomorrow, would you know?
 I don't wanna call your family
 And tell them to build a coffin
 Because their oldest son just overdosed on pills
 You've got a red glare in your eyes
 And the sky outside your door's a blacker blue
 I hate to see what's become of you
 Tony, it's just a stick in the spokes
 It's not too late for you to find your way home
 Because your friends are still here
 And your family's where you left them
 So put on a clear head and try it out for a ride
 Because you're better than this
 And you can better your life, you can't choose your father
 We're suffering together
 I don't wanna call your family
 And tell them to build a coffin
 Because their oldest son just overdosed on pills
 You've got a red glare in your eyes
 And the sky outside your door's a blacker blue
 I hate to see what's become of you
 You're getting closer to the end of your rope
 I never thought you'd let yourself get so cold
 But lately I've been thinking
 About all the things I said to you
 And now I need to prove that
 I didn't mean it when I said
 That you were dead to me
 You mean the world to me
 I don't wanna call your family
 And tell them to build a coffin
 Because their oldest son just overdosed on pills
 You've got a red glare in your eyes
 And the sky outside your door's a blacker blue
 I hate to see what's become of you
