about

Thinking about the hurt we put on each other across generations, especially as men, in quiet codes and louder actions, and how difficult it is to shake that history, even when you want to so badly.

lyrics

The sins of the Fathers pass down thru the time
Try to undo all the knots in the twine
And she don't know where you're going
She don't know where you been
The stone covered floor will collect all your tears
And this is how it... begins

The mirrors on the wall will refract your emotions
Reminding once more we're just drops in the ocean
And we don't know where we're going
We don't know where we've been
Inscrutable laughter ebbs out on the tide
And this is how it... begins

The sins of the Father pass down to the sons
You race with the devil but you can't outrun
And they don't know where they're going
They don't know where they been
The door is ajar so walk out of your cell
And this is how it... begins
