lyrics

So begins a loss of self.
God assigned fear for my health.
This isnt home, its barely real.
Raised by wolves, open hearts
Lies end where the pictures starts (where the picture starts)

Maybe its me
Can't be
I've given all my worth and they call it their own.

I regret to inform
Povich called on the phone.
The results are in.
Don't call this my family again.

Here we go
Calling every man our own
Did you think I'd adapt that well?
I can still tell
These are strangers in my house

Leave compassion at the door, promises left on the floor.
Cancer kiled the hope in me.
Hear the echoes in the clouds,
an angel's foot taps loudly now.
Don't forget whose bed you sleep in.

Maybe its me
Can't be
I've given all my worth and they call it their own.

I regret to inform
Povich called on the phone.
The results are in.
Don't call this my family again.

Here we go
Calling every man our own
Did you think I'd adapt that well?
I can still tell
These are strangers in my house

Don’t fret, it’s ok.
One soul mate never cuts it these days.

The dinner table’s not the same with an empty chair.
Closing my eyes and pretending she’s there.
Finding a replacement is always hard.
A drifter will never fill the void in my heart.

Consider these dead eyes proof.
I wasted her in my youth.
What do family pictures prove?
Maybe they’ll leave me too.

Pass the flask and take my heart, releasing every pressure.
Lost in every step I take, rid of every effort.
Pass the flask and take my heart, releasing every pressure.
Bow my head and ask the sky, "why did you take her"?

Maybe if I dig up her grave I’ll find myself.
I’m a native to nowhere.
