[Verse 1] Your father’s ghost is sitting in your chair Drinking from the cup that you prepared It’s a bitter vintage, aged in lead and spite You’re swallowing the shadows just to make it through the night You say it’s just the way the bloodline flows Like a poison river where nothing ever grows But you’re the architect of every single wall Building up the ruins just to watch your children fall. [Pre-Chorus] The mirror is a witness, it’s screaming for a change But you’d rather stay familiar than do the work that’s strange The cycle is a circle, a halo made of wire Are you gonna fan the flame or walk into the fire? [Chorus] BREAK THE BONE! SEVER THE TIE! Look the monster in the eye... Prepare to watch it die! If you won’t fix the rot inside your soul You’re handing the next generation a shovel for a six-foot hole! HEAL YOURSELF OR WATCH IT BURN! The lesson is the only thing they’ll never learn! [Verse 2] It’s a quiet war, fought behind the eyes Cutting out the vanity, stripping the disguise If you could find the courage to be better than your past You’d give them something solid, something built to last But pride is a heavy anchor on a sinking ship And you’re losing your balance, you’re losing your grip. [Bridge] Tick... tock... the fuse is short. We’re building kingdoms on a fort of salt. If we don’t wake up, if we don't rise We’ll be the dust beneath the mushroom skies. History is hungry, and it’s coming for us all One more generation before the final fall! [Chorus] BREAK THE BONE! SEVER THE TIE! Look the monster in the eye... Prepare to watch it die! If you won’t fix the rot inside your soul You’re handing the next generation a shovel for a six-foot hole! HEAL YOURSELF OR WATCH IT BURN! These lessons are the only thing they NEED TO LEARN! [Outro] Teach them how to live... Or teach them how to die... Be better for yourself... Now look up at the Sky!
