"Everyone Moves Away" lyrics

Please forgive
For they know not what they've done
And if they did they'd surely resurrect their trust
Promises were made to break
And the family kept its end
And now your hand, sir, my friend
Is blowing in one head and out the other

But you will find yourself
You will recognize and realize
Even when you can't forget
The times they tried you
Things denied you
Inside the big nameless house
From which everyone moves away
Everyone moves away

Growing up
In severed states of mind
Can cause you to go blind more than twice
And now we're learned
By the words we've never said
The wounds you've never bled
Just aggravate your head until they're gone

But you will like yourself
You will verify and vocalize
Even when you can't forget
That when you stayed you
They betrayed you
Inside the big nameless house
From which everyone moves away
Everyone moves away

Try to wipe away the traces
Of people, places, childhood spaces
Etched upon your memory
Like the way that we were raised

In our backyard
We were left no time to think
The blood that turned to ink spelled replaced
Now there's no sun
And the grass is overgrown
The sacred seed they've sown
Is utterly alone and scared to death

But you will free yourself
You will cut the cord and cauterize
And if you ever feel an urge
To look behind you
Let this remind you
We both grew up in the same house
From which everyone moves away
Everyone moves away
Everyone moves
Everyone moves
Everyone moves away
