lyrics

It's a tale as old as time
From mother to daughter it goes down the line
The things that we give and the things we receive
A history I feel unable to leave
Behind

We all know it’s a lie
Blood’s thinner than water, and thicker than wine
A legacy of misdirected shame
The reason that I cut her name
Away from mine

So gather round and listen
To my tragic backstory
Been telling it so long
The details bore even me
It feels like a narrative that I designed

It isn't unique
But it isn't a lie
Memories wane
And rebuild with the passing of time
The truth persists in the way that the things that I've seen and I've done are still shaping my life

Oh to leave this behind
And let other things take up more space in my mind
But who would I be without my past to shape me
What is a human but a walking segment of time?

In the end, I’m alive
No matter the how and no matter the why
The stories that make me the person I am
Don’t cater to anyone’s plan
Aside from mine

So gather round and listen
To my tragic backstory
Been telling it so long
The details bore even me
It feels like a narrative that I designed

It isn't unique
But it isn't a lie
Memories wane
And rebuild with the passing of time
The truth persists in the way that the things that I've seen and I've done are still shaping my life
