The Dear Hunter The Inheritance Lyrics
The Inheritance by The Dear Hunter
Mouths to feed won't sleep till he arrives
So he brings his work home
Late nights waste away plotting a plan
Tracing the steps he needs to take
Till he says
My job is done
You're old enough, it's time to leave
This home and go on your own
I know it's hard, but it's not my problem anymore
Not anymore
Eyes closed children rest unaware
So he keeps their lights dim
Angels hold their tongues up above
With a scowl shaking their fists
When he says
We had our run
Now you're old enough to run down your track
So don't look back
I know it's hard but it's not my problem anymore
Not anymore
So he brings his work home
Late nights waste away plotting a plan
Tracing the steps he needs to take
Till he says
My job is done
You're old enough, it's time to leave
This home and go on your own
I know it's hard, but it's not my problem anymore
Not anymore
Eyes closed children rest unaware
So he keeps their lights dim
Angels hold their tongues up above
With a scowl shaking their fists
When he says
We had our run
Now you're old enough to run down your track
So don't look back
I know it's hard but it's not my problem anymore
Not anymore
