D Db/D Am E7
Please forgive, for they know not what they've done
Gm D A Asus A7
And if they did, they'd surely resurrect their trust
D Db/D Am E7
Promises were made to break and the family kept its end
Gm D
And now your answer, my friend
Gm D A Asus A7
Is blowing in one head and out the other
G D
But you will find yourself
G D
You will recognize and realize
G D F#
Even when you can't forget
Bm A/Bm Ab/Bm E7
The times they tried you, things denied you, inside the big nameless house
G D G D Db/D Bm A7
>From which everyone moves away, everyone moves away
D Db/D Am E7
Growing up in severed states of mind
Gm D A Asus A7
Can cause you to go blind more than twice
D Db/D Am E7
And now we're hurt by the words we've never said
Gm D
The wounds you never bled
Gm D A Asus A7
Just aggravate your head until their gone
G D
But you will like yourself
G D
You will verify and vocalize
G D F#
Even when you can't forget
Bm A/Bm Ab/Bm E7
That when you stayed you, they betrayed you, inside the big nameless house
G D F# G D Db/D Bm A7
>From which everyone moves away, everyone moves away
A7 D A7 D
Try to wipe away the traces of people, places, childhood spaces
Bm F# G A7
Etched upon your memory, like the way that we were raised
D Db/D Am E7
In our backyard we were left no time to think
Gm D A Asus A7
The blood that turned to ink spelled neglect
D Db/D Am E7
Now there's no sun and the grass is overgrown
Gm D Gm D A Asus A7
The sacred seed they've sown is utterly alone and scared to death
G D
But you will free yourself
G D
You will cut the cord and cauterize
G D F#
And if you ever feel an urge
Bm A/Bm
To look behind you, let this remind you
Ab/Bm E7
We both grew up in the same house
G D F# G D F#
>From which everyone moves away, everyone moves away
G D G D
Everyone moves, everyone moves
G D Db/D D
Everyone moves away
