"Hereditary" lyrics

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
By the hand of a man who wasn't enough

He was never enough
To give you the love
To give you that feeling
Whose venomous touch
By the hand of a gun
That 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

And 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 is easier to run and not react (that's a fact)
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's 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
And change to your needs
Saw all the faces
Used to hide your grief
I watched you change
