August Ponthier - Angry Man

I built a time machine
Without even trying
It's powered by a slamming door
And the silent treatment
Gut feeling like I've done something bad
It's so convenient getting home like that

I've gotta dark core memory of both of us driving
And I tried to ladybird myself
On the highway
Screaming, he leaned in
And saved me from my end
And then we never spoke of it again

I got his eyes and his unforgiving mouth
I know the saying, but it only hit me now
If you grew up with an angry man in your house
All the time
There's always gonna be an angry man
In your mind

I see him now and then in
Other people
I've met a friend or two who were the sequel
Incarnate, alarming
Reading self-help books to change
But I'm so scared it's in my DNA


I got his eyes and his unforgiving mouth
I know the saying, but it only hit me now
If you grew up with an angry man in your house
All the time
There's always gonna be an angry man
In your mind

I got his eyes and his unforgiving mouth
I know the saying, but it only hit me now
If you grew up with an angry man in your house
All the time
There's always gonna be an angry man
In your mind
