Lyrics
Family Tree
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Forgotten things remembered
The tigers eat their young
The body stayed but inside the head
The mind was on the run
A conspiracy of silence
The only way out of pain
Is turn around, run through it man!
Too wet to come in from the rain
Tell them
I know they were doing it to you
But don't try doing it to me!
Let me show you, how I love you
It's our secret, you and me
Let me show you, how I love you
But keep it in the family
When you hear them saying: trust me
Don't wait to see what's next
Thrown to the wolves forever trusting
Raised in a form of living hell
Sing a one note song of rage
Live and die within your heart
So beware in the shadows
Your family tree waits in the dark
I say
I know they were doing it to you
But don't try doing it to me! No! No!
Let me show you, how I love you
It's our secret, you and me
Let me show you, how I love you
But keep it in the family tree
Let me show you, how I love you
It's our secret, you and me
Let me show you, how I love you
The secret... Of the family tree
