Meadows - The Inheritance lyrics

November 16, 1973
The years fly by like the ever passing breeze
And she still rises with the sun
She looks passed her own needs for
Those two boys she loves

Ten years, ten years is such a long time to
Find a way to say goodbye
In the attic of his mind are
Creaking floorboards and shattered glass
Dilapidating with time
Decaying, kept out of the light
Searching, for something
He knows that he can't find (he can’t find)
But he still, but he still tries
"I can't help but remember
The feeling of hoping that it
Would all get better
And I guess it doesn't matter
His ghost still haunts me
So I guess I will just
Wait for what comes after"
The house wrapped, in disrepair
Just like the ones living there
In the basement of his soul
There’s water damage, memories stolen
The Flood became his home

Waterboarded walls, a broken foundation, no
Light, no life, no hope, no home

I can barely remember seeing a family
That fought their wars together
And I guess I can't defend her she
Said "God help us carry on"
So I picked up and I moved on
As my fire, it dwindles down
And I'm burnt out

Does anyone hear me? Does anyone care?
My mind keeps spiraling downward
And my heart's in disrepair

November 16, 1973
The years have not been kind
And he's running out of time and he fights!
He fights, he fights his father's war
On his mind, for his family
But they both chose the wrong door
