Heirloom Lyrics

[Verse 1: Dom McLennon]
He said
"Not mine, oh no, it couldn't be
I saw her yesterday, she was always so good to me"
He starts to question himself about things he couldn't see
Sitting in front of his face all the time, "stupid me...
The signs were all there, and now that I recognize
I feel at fault for everything, for breaking the family ties
For separating her mother, physically from her spirit
There was nothing I could do, that love, I didn't feel it
But I didn't have the heart, to take effective action
Cause though I had love for her, I needed the fucking passion
God I needed the passion, all I live for is passion...
And now I feel like mentally I was my kid's assassin
I can't deal, this cycle has been reversed
She was bound to carry tradition once I had left the Earth
I swear to god I don't wanna put my own kid in a hearse
I know I've been lost at heart, but my soul is a part of her's"

[Hook]
I know I've been lost at heart but my soul is a part of her's (x3)

[Verse 2: Dom McLennon]
He said... "Please god, take me first, don't harm her"
God spoke back, he said "Welcome to karma
I never spite you see, this was your fate
And it's not about you and I or your lost faith
This world is not yours, you expected to get more
You sinned, though you have what many would sin for
It's about her...that's what you should live for
You wanted passion, would you give your kin for?"
He said no and god said, "I wasn't askin'
You said it at her side, that you needed the fucking passion"
He tried to barter, said he would give it all
Just to have his child back, got on his knees and crawled
He pleaded and said, "I never could live with all this regret
This weight on my chest is something that I could never forget"
God said, "I control nothing outside of the rules I've set
I'm sorry, but she decided she's taken her last breath."
