Heir Lyrics by Exiting The Fall

Bloodline

2015

[Verse 1: Matt Vacaro]
Messenger, messenger, don't tell me about the world
My son, will you labor on more narrow roads?
Messenger, messenger, don’t tell me about the world
I don't want to watch my son burn
Burn, burn, it's all gonna burn

[Pre-Chorus: Matt Vacaro]
What if I never meet my son?
What if I just leave a mess for him to clean up?
Will this house still be riddled with adultery?

[Chorus: Kevin Klein]
My God, why are these bones as broken
As they were before, as they were before?
My pride leaves such a bitter taste
But I’m still wanting more, I'm always wanting more

[Verse 2: Matt Vacaro]
Avid in confidence
But I don't know what it's like to feel right
Avid in confidence
But I don't know what it's like to feel right
Avid in confidence
But I don't know what it's like to feel right

[Chorus: Kevin Klein]
My God, why are these bones as broken
As they were before, as they were before?
My pride leaves such a bitter taste
But I’m still wanting more, I’m always wanting more

[Bridge: Matt Vacaro]
One day you will take my name
One day you will take my place at the table
(I cannot begin to show you love
For I have yet to love myself)
Where you will learn…
One day you will have my pride
One day you will deal with what's left behind
(How am I supposed to guide a son
When I can barely guide myself?)
Where you will learn…

[Outro: Matt Vacaro]
You’re only as good as your father's word
You're only as good as your father's word
You’re only as good as your father's word
You're only as good as your father's word
