Hereditary Songtext
von Wind Walkers

Sleepless, staring up through the ceiling
We come from the mud, so there′s reason
To bite the hand that was feeding
The hand of a god who wasn't enough
He wasn′t enough
To cover the blood, to hand out the healing
Who severed his love
But kept you in touch, who kept you believing
Who said you weren't trying
I knew that you were

But I watched you shape-shift
Change to your needs
Saw all the faces
Used to hide your grief
I watched you change


Felt my ego caving in
We're covered in mud, so there′s
No sense in hiding your suffering (no)
By the hand of a man who wasn′t enough
He was never enough
To give you the love, to give you the feeling
Whose venomous touch
By the hand of a gun, who kept you believing
Who said you weren't worth it
I knew that you were

But I watched you shape-shift
And change to your needs
Saw all the faces
Used to hide your grief
I watched you change
Twist your faith, lose yourself in precarious ways
All your shape-shifting to run away

There was nothing I could do

There was nothing I could do right?
Nothing I could do
Nothing I could do
So sick of calling out and never hearing back

Sometimes it′s easier to run and not react
But there was nothing I could do
Tell me what you knew
The world was just so cruel to you
Well, it's hereditary


Sick of forcing smiles, never looking back
A luxury I never really had, and that′s a fact
There was nothing I could do, yeah
Tell me what you knew
The world was just so cruel to you
Well, it's hereditary

I watched you shape-shift (shape-shift)
And change to your needs
Saw all the faces
Used to hide your grief
I watched you change
