Torn Family in Heart

Layin' naked in the swamp Tears down my chin Rotting fields left in my heart This isn't it Born a sister to a monster Equilibrium is smudged Life creeps up while taking slowly Everything I love These memories scar... The life I knew is lost... Torn family in heart It's been five days since my ailment Surely I'll survive He fed me stories about you Oh Self-fulfilling lies And when I'm done with the taste of you Diluted by the sun It might just be the final Dinner bell dear you have rung These memories scar... The life I knew is lost... Torn family in heart But I have been here before And I'll be here once more Thoughts of me on your lap For the sake of love Still Calling on home Banked American roads That waitress's tongue twists Around what she don't know Back on a rusted trail down a bitter road Old boots kickin' dust Every mile Steeped in grime Where mistakes left their mark With a heart bruised by long-lost reckonings These memories scar... The life I knew is lost... Torn family in heart Cracked by old regrets I wander... Remnants of a worn-out soul Slip quietly aside I face the price I’ve paid With every fading day behind me... I surrender
