Last Surviving Son - Alicia Witt Live at Joe's Pub NYC, 6.9.24

in honor of Pride Month 🌈
and for everyone who feels they can't be who they are, or love who they love 🖤
as heard on my record The Conduit.
LAST SURVIVING SON - music and lyrics by Alicia Witt & Crystal Bowersox
you’re a drinker a smoker
hoisting lies upon your shoulder
And every notch carved in your bedpost
was like revenge upon that man
so you fake it you just take it
it’s etched into your crooked chin
you say you’ve learned but you never change
you’ve given up so much for him
the guilt wells up in your baby blues
cuz someone’s got to fill them boots
you're daddy's last surviving son
and he'll never let you love someone like me,
someone like me
long as he lives you’ll be alone
you signed the rules he wrote in stone
Til he’s 6 below you won’t be free
to love someone like me
i know you felt it i’m not crazy
i saw every sign you gave me
you coulda made the choice but he stole your voice
instead you ran for safety
you don’t need fixing you ain’t broken
can’t you see the door is open
the only thing standing in your way
is the key you think he’s holding
i keep praying like a fool
but this ain’t up to god it’s up to you
you're daddy's last surviving son
and he'll never let you love someone like me
someone like me
he says jump you say how hi
his twisted ancient lullaby
Til he’s 6 below you won’t be free
to love someone
tell me can you sleep at night
do the possibilities of what might have been
keep swimming round your head
or do all the stakes you think youve claimed
in the shadow of his name keep him alive
while you’re dyin slow instead
the guilt wells up in your baby blues
well someone’s got to fill them boots
you're daddy's last surviving son
and he'll never let you love someone like me,
someone like me
long as he lives you’ll be alone
you signed the rules he wrote in stone
Til he’s 6 below you won’t be free
to love someone
to love someone like me

How does this channel not have more subscribers? Wow. She's not only very talented as an actress but as a singer she's amazing. You can't help but listen to her music once she starts singing.

It's a shame I don't see you in movies/tv as much anymore. Last time I think was in Fear the Walking Dead. You have my vote for Mary Jane in a new Tobey McGuire Spiderman movie if it happens. 👍🙂
