Legacy Lyrics by Scurvy Rickets

Legacy

2021

[Verse 1]
Being a man is hard to plan
It’s all I can do to grow the ways I can
It’s not what it seemed
So what does it mean?
And how can I model a man I’ve never seen?
Is he only a dream?
I learned how not to be a man from Dad
Best teacher that I never had
He didn’t run off so I thought he did his part
But there’s pain in my heart, an aching lack
Foundation cracked
For all these years I’ve struggled with fear
Taking what lessons I can by watching my peers
Learning the hardest truths by trial and error
Errors on errors, terrors on terrors
Hurting those I care for
I’m bitter see, for legacy
An inheritance to seed the best in me
But what’s left to me is just fragility
A toxic, cowardly twist on masculinity
False identity
[Verse 2]
You had the same choice
But fear got your best
You had the same choice
But you let the fear
You let it slide
Deep, deep down
[Verse 3]
Who’s at fault? Who’s to blame?
Am I bound to carry his fears if I carry his name?
All I know is
Things can’t remain the same
It’s time to change
So what man will I be?
Or even, will a man even be left of me?
What’s my legacy?
Will those I leave inherit a trust? A wealth of love?
Or bitter memory? It’s up to me
It always was
Understandable reasons are never enough
Change is love
(Love is change)
