A Trophy Father’s Trophy Son-Sleeping With Sirens
We all know what divorce is, it’s as common today as cream in coffee. If you decide you don’t love the person you are with anymore, a signature and a few dollar bills is all you need to be rid of that pesky husband or wife you married. How you ended up with them is a mystery to you! You’ll say, but what about the son or daughter? Do we really understand the role it plays on a young person’s life? This is what I was thinking when I sat down to write this song. I thought about all the words someone like me would want to say to a father, who was man enough to make a life, but not man enough to see it through. It doesn’t surprise me that this particular song is one of the most relatable on the album, but it does frustrate me though. I wrote this song to the point, and many will criticize my lyrics or claim them to be cheesy, but why? What point is it other than to write exactly what I or anyone else would really say to a mother or father who walks out on your life! You would ask “Why are you walking away?”, and some years later say, “I buried the thought of you in my mind”. That’s not cheesy, it’s real life.-Kellin Quinn
