Family Dinner
I've been anxious about this for weeks
Couldn't stop thinking about what it was gonna be like
It's not that i haven't tried to avoid it, to run and hide
See I just can't change the date
Fucking Christmas that I hate
I'm sure I'll be a mess, that I'll be feeling all their stress
Cause you know they can't behave
But this time I’ll be brave
How come I miss them when they are far away
I even call them everyday
But when I see them
I feel like I can't stay
I wish I could run away
A family dinner is more than I can bear
Is a pain in the ass I swear
It's killing me slowly
I stay numb with my despair
And pretend that I don't care
It's all about kept secrecies
Awkward silences and jealousy
When you less expect it you will diss them and regret it
Their words cut me like a knife
How dare they judge my life
It's too late we're unable
To sit here at the same table
Without shouting without fighting
Can't enjoy a family outing
We share the same blood
Still everything is odd
Should cut the umbilical chord
We share some memories
They seem long gone away
And we're so different today
Family Dinner is a great title. Vocals are amazing, along with the harmonies. Smooth and solid musical flow with great production. I find it funny, because the subject matter of the song is something most people can relate with (I sure can). I could see this song being very commercial. I'm a fan. Best of luck Sheliyah . ~NMc.
