My grandfather’s blood swirls around my veins
It's not for the best and I know that more or less
My own father raised with a sense of guilt and worried shame
But I’m still living more or less
Spin around, spin around, dissociate
Another time another place
A chemistry explained
A shaky anxious brain can’t sleep at night, but dying in the light
Never could shake this impulse to ruin all I love
Regret fits me like a glove
One for the ghosts that climb the wall
One for the battles lost and won
One for the light that you left on
One for the dark place in us all
Those nights you shook but didn’t break
One for the ghosts that climb the wall
One for the footsteps in the hall
One for the battles lost and won
One for the light that you left on
One for the dark place in us all
Those nights you shook but didn’t break
