The Science Of Sleep - Pater Familias lyrics

Is this all I have left Is every memory just a construct of a picture I can't recall Cause it's all lost on me It seems these memories Are all just hand-me-downs If I could find a trace of hope that these thoughts Are my own I would come to terms Leave it be Bring all of my bitterness back to me Instead it seeps from every crack I'll drown in these waves They won't hold back Into each life Some rain must fall We were already lost at sea (With no chance) Against the squall I'll keep my eyes From staring down Cause I've realized I'm fighting for For more than myself It's every person That lost themselves The day you took him away It's for my mother Who bears the grief Of being left here alone If from these scars we learn to grow You'll reap the seeds you've sown I was once a coward of a man A fool that let a life pa** right over him And in that moment I lost my picture's frame So to the memories that never came And If these pictures are really all that's left Then I refuse to let it go I refuse to let him leave If these pictures are all that's left If these pictures are all that's left
