about

Ornamental is about how easily I sometimes get pulled back into old family systems, despite how much therapy has helped me grow beyond them.

lyrics

My brother waits on the driveway
With his short pants and a suitcase
I'm in the window, and I'm about five
So I don't recall that our dad does not arrive

My mother gave me her journals
There's a daily log of drug use, but no internals
I'm on the pages, and I seem fine
But the lines remind that my track goes a ways back

The difference between my family and me
Isn't as great as therapy can let it seem
History makes you ornamental
So dwell in the days where you can change even just a little bit
