Heirloom
Sleeping At Last

You try your hardest to leave the past alone.
This crooked posture is all you’ve ever known.
It is the consequence of living in between
the weight of family and the pull of gravity.

You are so much more than your father’s son.
You are so much more than what I’ve become.

Long before you were born there was light
Hidden deep in these young, unfamiliar eyes.
A million choices, though little on their own,
Become the heirloom of the heaviness you’ve known.

You are so much more than your father’s son.
You are so much more than what I’ve become,
What I’ve become,
What I’ve become.

You pressed rewind
For the thousandth time
When the tapes wore through.
So you memorized
Those unscripted lines,
Desperate for some kind of clue:

When the scale tipped,
When you inherited
A fight that you were born to lose.
It’s not your fault,
No, it’s not your fault,
I put this heavy heart in you.
I put this heavy heart in you.

You remind me of who I could have been,
Had I been stronger and braver way back then.
A million choices, though little on their own,
Became the heirloom of the heaviness we’ve known.

You are so much more than your father’s son.
You are so much more than the wars you’ve won.
You are so much more than your father’s son.
You are so much more than what I’ve become.

Therapy
All Time Low

My ship went down
In a sea of sound
When I woke up alone
I had everything
A handful of moments
I wished I could change
And a tongue like a nightmare that cut like a blade
In a city of fools
I was careful and cool
But they tore me apart like a hurricane
A handful of moments I wish I could change but I was carried away

Give me therapy
I am a walking travesty
But I am smiling at everything
Therapy, you were never a friend to me
You can keep all your misery

My lungs gave out
As I faced the crowd
I think that keeping this up could be dangerous
I'm flesh and bone
I'm a rolling stone
And the experts say I'm delirious

Give me therapy
I am a walking travesty
But I am smiling at everything
Therapy, you were never a friend to me
You can take back your misery

Arrogant boy, love yourself so no one has to
They are better off without you (they are better off without you)
Arrogant boy cause a scene like you're supposed to
They'll fall asleep without you
You're lucky if your memory remains

Give me therapy
I am a walking travesty
But I am smiling at everything
Therapy, you were never a friend to me
You can take back your misery
Therapy, I'm a walking travesty
But I'm smiling at everything
Therapy, you were never a friend to me
You can choke on your misery

Sinner
Trevor Moran

Father, please
Please forgive me

How do I release and get untied?
I don't know how to make you feel alive
Tell me, tell me, now, now, now, now, now, baby
Tell me now, yeah, tell me now, yeah

Why you always tear me down?
Bitch, you know I'll keep this crown
Intentions are clearly known
Clearly known-ow-own
Why you always tear me down?
Bitch, you know I'll keep this crown
No, I don't feel high no more
I'm on the floor, no, baby

I'm sorry that my whole heart was not enough
I'm sorry, you can keep it 'cause I'm cold as fuck
Father, please forgive me 'cause I'm on the floor
Prayin' on the floor
Can someone save this sinner?
Sinner, sinner (someone save this)

How did I get you to leave my head?
How did I get you to leave my bed?
Baby, baby, baby
Babe, I let you go (go)

Why you always tear me down?
Bitch, you know I'll keep this crown
Intentions are clearly known
Clearly known-ow-own
Why you always tear me down?
Bitch, you know I'll keep this crown
No, I don't feel high no more
I'm on the floor, no, baby

I'm sorry that my whole heart was not enough
I'm sorry, you can keep it 'cause I'm cold as fuck
Father, please forgive me 'cause I'm on the floor
Prayin' on the floor
Can someone save this
Sinner, sinner (can someone save?)
Sinner, sinner (can somebody save me?)
Sinner (someone save me), sinner
Oh, oh

I smell his scent on your skin
Let's not try to pretend
I'm the one that's the sinner, sinner (it's you)
Time to play the victim now
Hope he's with you when you drown
Know you're worried, know you're hurting
I have the power now

I'm sorry that my whole heart was not enough
I'm sorry, you can keep it 'cause I'm cold as fuck
Father, please forgive me 'cause I'm on the floor
Prayin' on the floor
Can someone save that
Sinner, sinner (oh, baby)
Sinner, sinner (can someone save you?)
Sinner (can someone save me?) sinner, sinner
(Someone save this)

I'm a saint, bitch

Boys In The Street
Greg Holden

When I was younger
My daddy told me I would never
Never amount to nothing special
He'd come at me from every angle
He'd say, "You're the last thing I wanted, the last thing I need
How am I going to answer when my friends tell me
My son was kissing boys in the street?

"You are part of this family, I made you myself
But the way that you act isn't good for your health
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
You are part of this family, I made you myself
But the way that you act isn't good for your health
My son, stop kissing boys in the street"

Now that I'm older, my daddy's heart's a little warmer
But he still won't hug me like my brother
And he still won't kiss me like my mother
He'd say, "You are part of this family, I made you myself
But the way that you act isn't good for your health
My son, stop kissing boys in the street"

"You are part of this family, I made you myself
But the way that you act isn't good for your health
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
You are part of this family, I made you myself
But the way that you act isn't good for your health
My son, stop kissing boys in the street"

My daddy's dying, but he's finally realized I'm not lying
We sit in silence, but we're smiling
Because for once, we are not fighting
He'd say, "There was no way of knowing 'cause all I was taught
Is men only love women, but now I'm not sure
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
When I'm gone, keep kissing boys in the street"
