Grieves - Nature vs. Nurture lyrics
[Grieves - Nature vs. Nurture lyrics]
I've been looking at that
Shadow that's inside
Of me for quite some time
Sunk my teeth in the light
As a young man blind
But never regret the process or regret time
Just wish I could have helped the 3 of us
And breached that line
Like how the hell was I supposed to know?
It's the symbiotic circle that
We all helped grow
And when it all fell through
Yeah, we all sunk in the same link
And drowned in that vision of our
Future in the same day and
You can tell it to the
Doctor when he asks you
Or carve it in your little prison
Wall like a tattoo but
We got a frozen rock of luck like a statue
That stands at the crossroads
Blocking where to pass through
Damn, that's part of living
On the off-beat and
Part of skipping down that
Never-ending dark street so
You can fight it and draw
The difference between us
Because the blood doesn't match
But the God damned disease does
How many more hearts are we going to break?
How many failed steps are we going to take?
It's time to look at what we got here
Standing on the verge of
That age old question
Is it nature versus nurture?
How many more lines are we going to cross
Until we figure out the pain we caused?
It's time to look at what we got here
Standing on the verge of
That age old question
Is it Nature versus Nurture?
I flipped through that little photo
Book that Ma made
And looked for the warning signs
Crawling out of my face
I've been questioning the level
Of our mind state
That made us feel like everything around
Us was a crying shame no answer
Just a whole bunch of burned bridges
Earned stitches in that curve
In our world's rythmn
And I don't know where we learned this from
Or how it stuck with you after
All the worse was done but it scares me
Yeah, and I'm not afraid to say it
I'm ready to wake the demon and
Enclose it up and face it
And take it out and display it
And show the world that it's real
Stop running from the past like it's
Going to make you heal because it can't
And maybe that's the reason why I see it
And feel it in my pen when
I sit down and treat it
And after all of it's done
You don't have to believe it
When the blood doesn't match
And the God damned disease lives
How many more hearts are we going to break?
How many failed steps are we going to take?
It's time to look at what we got here
Standing on the verge of
That age old question
Is it nature versus nurture?
How many more lines are we going to cross
Until we figure out the pain we caused?
It's time to look at what we got here
Standing on the verge of
That age old question
Is it Nature versus Nurture?
Shadow that's inside
Of me for quite some time
Sunk my teeth in the light
As a young man blind
But never regret the process or regret time
Just wish I could have helped the 3 of us
