The Golden Thread

I know you tried to lay it out

But your bloodlines been a blur

And you're passing through it all

Looks like you've found yourself

Down the road you came from

So carry on with the same abandonment

Just like your father

Another generation apart

We move just like flames

Conditioned by our motion

But this won't be the end

It must be so hard when

They played with your heart but

Just let me show there can be a way out

We're so toxic in the way we talk

How nothing means nothing to us

This is who we are

This is who we are

So try not to hold so tightly

To the hands that keep pulling you deeper

Let me show you

Let me show you the way up

Are you breathing fine underwater?

I've been waiting at the surface for you

To regain control

Cause I can't find it in myself to let go

Why would I tie myself

To the one thing I can't fix

Pulling me down tot the floor

Down to the bottom

Don't act like you're trying your best

Don't act like you've tried before

We are all just a picture

Composed by memory

Painted by what we've felt

So what's the point in opening our wounds?

Looks like you've found yourself

Down the road you came from

Don't carry on with the same abandonment

Just like your mother

Another generation apart
