Family Values

We saw the retribution,

We saw the games you play

Shutting your ears to the sound of desperation

We were young and innocent,

The tears were streaming down her face

You should have been more subtle,

Can you feel the shame?

I’m not the one to blame, I’m not the one to change

Every night you stumble on the same wall.

Seek forgiveness, for the restless

Your past is what still haunts you,

And mostly what you’re made of,

And why you’re so lonely

The walls you’ve built will break down, let everybody see,

How you’re killing me, killing me

Black out, face the facts

You owe this to yourself

And if honesty makes you tremble

It’s time to take your business elsewhere.

It’s all about the family values

It’s all about the life you left us for

Now! Let the levies of virtue break

Let the levies of virtue break

Shatter the dream,

Collect the pieces,

Take the fall

Shatter the dream,

Collect the pieces,

Blind us with your open arms

Carry me the way back home.

Can’t you see that we’re falling down?

Do you know what this means to me?

It’s breaking, it’s tearing me down

Do you know what this means to me?

You’re tearing, you’re breaking me down

Black out, face the facts. You owe this to yourself
