Acceptance Lyrics by Sleep In.

Tension & Release

2017

[Verse 1]
I'll try to find an easy way to say
I'm a product of a big mistake
Nine months later I was on my way
To a different home in a different state
To a different mother with a different name
And a father who would love me the same
Seven years later I would hear them say
"We'll be back in a week, she's on the way"

[Chorus]
Was it too late, did you tell the truth?
Does it keep you up or eat away at you?
Do you ever wonder if I grew
Into a man that looks like him or looks like you?

[Post-Chorus]
Turned out fine and I’m happy too
With a family that's tried and true
I was raised to accept and I think I do
But every now and then I feel it too

[Verse 2]
Curiosity is commonplace
Will I ever get to see your face?
Blood related, raised separately
But if we crossed paths would it make waves?
And I've pictured you a thousand ways
I just wanna know if you left the states
All the consequences being weighed
It could end a thousand ways

[Bridge]
Raised to accept and I think I do
And I respect what you’re going through
Our past is just a sketch of what we do
And our future’s made of lines and colors
Colors we let bleed through
We let bleed through

[Chorus]
Was it too late, did you tell the truth?
Does it keep you up or eat away at you?
Do you ever wonder if I grew
Into a man that looks like him or looks like you?

[Post-Chorus]
Turned out fine and I’m happy too
With a family that's tried and true
I was raised to accept and I think I do
But every now and then I feel it too

[Outro]
And I was raised to accept and I think I do
Our past is just a sketch of what we do
And I was raised to accept (And our future’s made of lines and colors)
And I think I do
Our past is just a sketch (And our future’s made of lines and colors)
Of what we do
