Residue Lyrics by The Frame Defect

In Error

0

They sit safe
Sheltered underground
But not before the damage was done
Removed from the setting
Unsettled, to say the least
Preserving traditions worth forgetting

They sit safe
Sheltered underground
But, not before the damage was done
Removed from the setting
Unsettled, to say the least
Preserving traditions worth forgetting

It seeps from your skin
It falls from your lips:
The hateful words of this recitation that you’ve inherited

It’s the particularly nasty stain you can’t washout
The lingering scent of a tired age you can’t live without

They pray to god everyday
For a child to carry the family name of the father
To live through them
Speak through them
As will be done to their children

It seeps from your skin
It falls from your lips:
The hateful words of this recitation that you’ve been living in

You are the stagnant
You don’t evolve
A stubborn ghost stuck in its haunt

It’s the particularly nasty stain you can’t washout
The lingering scent of a tired age you can’t live without

It’s the belief you never asked for, but passed down the family tree
And where the noose has been tied to the highest branch
You’ll hang as the oddity

(And don’t you worry your head if you disagree
‘Cause in the next thirty years the same will be said about me.)
