Inherited Scars lyrics

[Verse One]
I didn`t tell anyone about what I seen or heard that day, mums the word still
I`m scared to plant ideas into your head while your rebellious side is fertile
Hurdles are getting knocked down

If I could have said this to your face maybe you wouldn`t have to write like I do,
Except I use paper instead of my body now; it`s something you might want to try too
From haikus to horror stories, it`s something in our blood that we share,
Something in our blood that appears on the surface of our skin when we bring it there

Sitting on stairs when I would bother to bring my skates
My feeble attempt at being a strong, big brotherdoing father figure 8`s
Ripping my cape on the ground that it dragged on
Tripping on fate and hearing the sounds of a sad song
Listen, it`s great sharing time now that dad`s gone,
But what`s with the choice of words?
Or the body parts that you decided to tag them on?
I`m a bagabond who moved to modern day Babylon and then back again
With minimal contact and you know I can`t ask your mom what`s happening
You`ve got such beautiful gifts What are you doing ruining the packaging?
How ironiccome to thinkI probably put this ink on my back for him
I want you to laugh and sing more,
But you dropped anchor in a place
where dreams go to die and you`re keeping your ass indoors
I`m asking for you to stick it outand see things through
You`re asking for me to zip my mouth and keep it just between me and you

[Chorus]
If I
