Gift Givers

(Album: Drag Me Down - 2020)

The sins of the fathers have condemned the children
We inherit what you leave behind, we inherit the end

Relief is found in nothing, there is only decay
You left us with no choice, you left us with no say
There is no way out, there's no escaping this place
You've already hammered the nails

How dare you reject the blame
How dare you try to wash your hands, when you're the ones who lit the flame

We're doomed to live a life we never wanted to live
A curse disguised, disguised as a gift
On the edge of the highest cliff, raised to stare straight into the abyss
A curse disguised, disguised as a gift

Your mistakes are hidden in plain sight, guilt masked by blinding light
You don't fool the eyes that hides in the night, can't force-feed us your lies

You dug a hole and you called it our home
You dug a grave, convinced us there was something to save
Convinced us all that we shared your blame
We see through it all, we will never be the same

We inherit the end
The sins of the fathers have condemned the children
We inherit what you leave behind, we inherit the end

We're doomed to live a life we never wanted to live
A curse disguised, disguised as a gift
On the edge of the highest cliff, raised to stare straight into the abyss
A curse disguised, disguised as a gift

And yet you wonder why we despise you and your kind
You spilled innocent blood and marked all of us
You marked all of us
