Dirty Fingernails

I'm looking at the old man's
dirty fingernails;
yellow, like the coward
I have always been.

sure leaves traces.
Not just on your hands,
in other places,
other places.

I'm looking at the old man's
dirty fingernails.
They're yellow, like the coward
I have always been.

A father and a son.
A sea of silence.
Smoke instead of words.
The pride we feel,
we both hide it.

I'm looking at the old man's
dirty fingernails.
They're yellow, like the coward
I, I have always been.

A father and a son.
A sea of silence.
Smoke instead of words.
The pride we feel,
we both hide it.
We both hide it
and hide behind it.
