Ancestry (feat. Jesse Leach)

Left behind You chose to leave Now it looks like you're leaving your family There's a cavern in your ribs Where your heart used to be I've been picking up what's left of you Connecting your pieces to my memories Hoping they would ignite some sentiment But they won't inspire sympathy The hollow point may have ripped you apart You disregard the damage you'd impart Rest in peace to our ancestry That you maimed and left scarred My judgement is clouded by the blood we share We built our truth (our truth) On top of all these lies I still see the good in life It's not the end (it's not the end) Although you see the light I'll see you on the other side Maybe one day you'll care But it's not my cross to bear I didn't skip a beat When I heard the news that you You couldn't make it to your feet All I have is apathy Just another day Of not knowing what to believe Another tale, another story A lifetime of perjury I wish I had the words to say I love you I'm not sure I understand what those mean When I'm thinking of you I have no words for you When I needed you, you wouldn't even hear it You made your choices You'll live with them even if we're gone It's impossible to find What's real in all these fables Unable to see through The resentment you've enabled The hurt that you Inflicted on yourself Won't amount to the pain Of everyone else I always wanted Things to be different Although you see the light I'll see you on the other side We built our truth (our truth) On top of all these lies I still see the good in life (the good in life) It's not the end (it's not the end) Although you see the light I'll see you on the other side (the other side) Although you see the light I'll see you on the other side
