One twisted root,
Is all that kept us grounded,
Family in truth,
Is how we all were founded
We outgrow our surroundings,
And find ourselves confounding,
As all that was laid before each,
Presents itself
The lessons that our fathers teach,
Are beyond our minds to reach,
As we chase our tails ad nauseum,
And ignore the source that caused them
Are we any more than animals?
Are we any more than animals?
Are we anymore,
Anymore,
Anymore
Are we anymore than animals,
Constantly chasing our tails,
To ignore our fathers,
And the ones that came before
One twisted root,
Has lost it's grip beneath us,
Is there any hope for progeny,
When the poisoning is clear to see
The point of building futures,
Of these wounds we try to suture,
Have been lost amongst the wreckage,
As we ignored the source that caused them
To be lessons in the first place,
The mistakes of an entire race,
Lay strewn about before us,
And are slowly reduced to dust
Are we anymore than animals?
Constantly chasing our tails,
To ignore our fathers,
And the ones who came before
Are we anymore than animals?
Burying heads in the sand,
To ignore the coming storm,
The rising tide
Are we anymore than animals?
Constantly chasing our tails,
To ignore our fathers,
And the ones who came before
Are we anymore than animals?
Burying heads in the sand,
To ignore the coming storm,
The rising tide
