lyrics

Abel lies awake by night and counts all of his crooked teeth,
fingers each misplaced slight with which he can't compete
His mother sighs “oh abel child, 25 been running since 19,
bottles and dimes piled high, is that why you struggle to breathe?”
Oh Abel. Abel! Oh Abel. Abel!
Go driving late every night up and down these same streets
Oh Abel. Abel! Oh Abel. Fucking Abel!
Claim you see an end in sight but when will you learn stop?

As I lie in bed, there's always movement behind these eyelids, something akin to panic
As I I try to sleep, I find no comfort in these dead sheep, in these dead sheep
Oh father, If only there'd been something more than grains of sand to build some honest callouses
Oh mother, I guess I just miss, I just miss...
Those stories! The ones we used to tell by night
I guess I miss those stories, the ones where happiness wasn't found, but hard fought and earned.
Abel's aboard a freighter ship, a place to call his own. He claims he's found brothers and purpose clear and strong
Late at night as he walks the deck, he writes Dear Mom and Dad, you'll be so proud of your wayward son, the promises lying ahead

Oh Abel. Abel! Oh Abel. Abel!
Tells them of the pretty girl he meets when he pulls into port
Oh Abel. Abel! Oh Abel. Fucking Abel!
Soon enough he'll learn that the sea ain't the only thing starting to swell.
(chorus)
Abel you're a God, Abel you're a bastard, Abel you're my motherfucking son
Abel you're a punk, Abel you're a waste of space, Abel you'll always be the one
Abel you're Saint, Abel you're in disarray, Abel you're my motherfucking son
Abel you're drunk, walking these tired avenues, Abel you'll always be the one!
