Chronic Inheritance
Nothing betrays the deep sadness I try to mask more than my affiliation to sad songs
As if listening to other people’s heartaches and mistakes would help right my wrongs.
Not even the sound of silence can compensate
for the fact that everybody hurts
Every one in my family that is, for generations we’ve carried this heirloom thats cursed
Nothing compares to you when the drugs don’t work, at least you’re yourself once more
Doing your all to give your children something that you have never experienced before
This mad world couldn’t fix you, somehow your soul, it remained, personified perseverance
Yesterday has gone, it took someone like you to vanquish this chronic inheritance
