Heirloom Pain

歌詞

Build a pillow barricade so the ghosts can't get to me Twenty-something instincts feel like a deadbeat dad Never there when it counts and puts you right in therapy Life is a gamble, baby, and you'll have to live with that Oh, but I'll be fine cause I always end up Just fine, then I'll call a friend up That's just how it is And I'll wake up tired and vaguely sore Stir a pot when I'm feeling bored Full-sending a lot, only halfway sure Walking around with heirloom pain Dad's temper and Mom's mistakes I'm always afraid to fall flat on my face But doing it anyway Doing it anyway Walls up to the skies Many men have marched around to no avail There's Achilles, and there's His God-forsaken heel I do the dishes and tend the garden Soften up where I used to harden And take a moonlit walk And I'll wake up tired and vaguely sore Stir a pot when I'm feeling bored Full-sending a lot, only half is sure, oh Walking around with heirloom pain Grandma left but her heartache stayed Now I'm always afraid to take up space Yet doing it anyway Doing it anyway, oh People fall in love and fuck up And have kids who fall in love and fuck up Who have kids that fall in love and have you People fall in love and fuck up We all fall in love and fuck up You will fall in love and fuck up too
