Family Ties

(album: Good Intent - 2015)

I start to feel a fundamental flaw to this whole plan
It's not as if I'm getting a second chance
It's hard to gain much influence under influence
It's hard to think or feel just anything

Infamy collides with inaction
And I can see your devil
Grasping the things you love

Sistine sisters barely alive
Track marks and family ties
(Sing your praises, haunt your waking days)
Invested in just to fall behind
When there's nothing left and nothing to find
Nondescript you enter the fray
Righteous and tame
No one can sympathise with sordid minds
Speak for me and speak for yourself in time

A growing pain has taken over this sordid little frame
A crippling outcome of waking to find
Feelings that are better when left alone
The astonishing thought I might surprise myself

Infamy collides with inactions
And you can feed your devils
What an act of accomplishment

Sistine sisters barely alive
Track marks and family ties
(Sing your praises, haunt your waking days)
Invested in just to fall behind
When there's nothing left and nothing to find
Nondescript you enter the fray
Righteous and tame
No one can sympathise with sordid minds
Speak for me and speak for yourself in time

Is it worth the things we've given up
Is it worth investing in just to fall apart
Is it worth the mind that I have given up
Is it worth the mind that I have lost

Sistine sisters barely alive
Track marks and family ties
Invested in just to fall behind
When there's nothing left and nothing to find
Is it worth the mind that I've given up
Sympathise with sordid minds
Speak for me and speak for yourself

Sistine sisters barely alive
Track marks and family ties
(Sing your praises, haunt your waking days)
Invested in just to fall behind
When there's nothing left and nothing to find
Nondescript you enter the fray
Righteous and tame
No one can sympathise with sordid minds
Speak for me and speak for yourself in time
