Paper Trail Lyrics by Exiting The Fall

Bloodline

2011

[Verse 1: Matt Vacaro]
Handed off, the bottle dropped through the generations
From father to son and to the son you never loved
Did you find forgiveness wasn't enough?
You sat there in drunkenness topping it off

[Pre-Chorus: Matt Vacaro]
I watched a dead man die right before my eyes
And fade into absence
I watched a dead man die right before my eyes
And fade into absence

[Chorus 1: Kevin Klein]
Now believe what you once thought a lie is not just an accident
Honestly, how can you stare at truth
And not be convinced to believe?

[Post-Chorus: Matt Vacaro]
And on your deathbed you cried out my name
Seeing the memories of me through the morphine

[Verse 2: Matt Vacaro]
And I was just a child by your bedside
When I watched you fade in and out of life
Oh, I remember how you looked at me
But I ain't the savior that you need me to be

[Pre-Chorus: Matt Vacaro]
I watched a dead man die right before my eyes
And fade into absence

[Chorus: Kevin Klein]
And I believe what you once thought a lie is not just an accident
And honestly, how can you stare at truth and not be convinced?

[Bridge: Kevin Klein; Matt Vacaro]
The hospital walls are closing in
It's not too late to turn from your darkness
The hospital walls are closing in
It's not too late to turn from your darkness
The hospital walls are closing in
It's not too late to turn from your darkness
The hospital walls are closing in
It's not too late to turn from the darkness

[Outro: Matt Vacaro; Kevin Klein]
A paper trail is your legacy
Mixed with the blood of your family
A paper trail is your legacy
Mixed with the blood of your family
A paper trail is your legacy
Mixed with the blood of your family
A paper trail is your legacy
Mixed with the blood of my family
A paper trail is your legacy
Mixed with the blood of your family
A paper trail is your legacy
Mixed with the blood of my family
A paper trail is your legacy
Mixed with the blood of your family
A paper trail is your legacy
Mixed with the blood of my family
