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
