Hereditary Lyrics by Alex Lepping

A Closer Look

0

[Verse 1]
\nRecently we’ve been spending so much time together
\nIt seems to me, it feels like it’s been forever since I’ve been home
\nAnd I know that I'm so lucky
\nTo still be here with those who love me
\nBut honestly, we keep on butting heads
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAnd I don’t know what to think
\nBecause I never thought that this could be an issue down the line
\nAnd you can’t take another drink, I’m never who you want to be
\nAnd I’m running out of time
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nI’m petrified that I’ll turn into you
\nYou’re constantly saying things that aren’t true
\nBreaking rules, telling secrets and won’t stop
\nReminding everybody when I played shortstop
\nAnd danced with my shadow, we moved as one
\nAs the ball went right passed me
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAnd I don’t know what to think
\nBecause I never thought that this could be an issue down the line
\nAnd you can’t take another drink, I’m never who you want to be
\nAnd I’m running out of time
\n
\n[Bridge]
\nI take a walk around the block to clear my head
\nGreat conversation with a neighbor I just met
\nBack home, singing as I do the dishes
\nMaking up the words that I forget
\nI built my life around not being you
\nBut my mom told me that we don’t choose
\nBecause as I stepped in the house that day
\nShe said I looked like you
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nAnd I know that we've made some mistakes
\nBut you work so hard, seen as a friendly face
\nSo when you came out of the bathroom in Home Depot
\nSaying you saw in the mirror you’re getting old
\nIn the reflection you saw your hat and coat
\nAnd you said you thought you were your dad
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nThese years passed in a blink
\nDo I even get to choose a path? Or is it the same you had?
\nAnd these tears are on the brink
\nWondering if it is that bad that we became our dads
\n
\n[Outro: Nick Rampulla]
\nArt, business, personas, family… there’s so many things that make you up Alex. We barely covered half of it, but we’re out of time here. How do you feel after we’ve broken everything down?\n\n
