The Smoking Gun
Finding Redemption in Familial Cycles
Lyrics
An empty house will leave you fatherless
An empty house symbolizes a lack of paternal guidance or presence.
The cycle is coming 'round like my mother did
The repetition of cycles, akin to the narrator's mother, suggests recurring patterns or behaviors.
But it's in her blood, but oh, my brother
The cycle is inherited or ingrained in family history, particularly affecting the brother.
You've gotten over it, gotten older yet

But it's only what our hearts will power
Our hearts have the power to shape circumstances or emotions.
I think I might have found the smoking gun

And my thoughts trail off for hours

But maybe time has come to be the one

An empty house will leave you fatherless

But the cycle is coming 'round like my mother did

And it's in her blood for the love of another

If the habit fits, then you must admit
If a habit aligns with the cycle, acknowledgment is necessary.
But it's only what our hearts will power
Reiteration of the power of hearts in shaping circumstances.
I think I might have found the smoking gun

And my thoughts trail off for hours
Continued contemplation and reflection on the discovered evidence.
But maybe time has come to be the one

But it's only what our hearts will power

I think I might have found the smoking gun

And my thoughts trail off for hours
