Protect the innocent with a clean shave
You don't know what to keep and what to kill
You think you've walked away but you're standing still
Just like your father
Just like your mother
Just like your family name
Three bags full, black sheep with closed eyes
Just enough cheap grace to cover your hide
Freedom from the bottle leaves regret in your home
What you can not forgive, now holds you close
So who are you now, when you are alone
Will you recognize it when you're old?
You stare it in the face, then forget what you've seen
You give it to your sons, it's tangled in their dreams
Just like their father
Just like their mother
Just like your father
Just like your mother
Just like their family name…
Change the set, change the names Protect the innocent with a clean shave You don't know what to keep and what to kill You think you've walked away but you're standing still Just like your father Just like your mother Just like your family name Three bags full, black sheep with closed eyes Just enough cheap grace to cover your hide Freedom from the bottle leaves regret in your home What you can not forgive, now holds you close So who are you now, when you are alone Will you recognize it when you're old? You stare it in the face, then forget what you've seen You give it to your sons, it's tangled in their dreams Just like their father Just like their mother Just like your father Just like your mother Just like their family name… Explain Request ×
