Heritage

A weary light so frail, so fractional
Shining immaterial
A little light slipping through my hands
Just like the smallest grain of sand

Meant to guide me but merely a burden
Dragging me back to the ground

Oh dear father, the blame is not yours alone
Some roads lead nowhere
With your arms opened, there's only change left to embrace
Some words lead nowhere

I don't wanna be part of this mess
And I don't wanna be part of your world
Please sever the ties
Let my feet leave the ground (I will fly alone)

Oh, they say
A bond of blood is all that matters
But what is it worth
If it stays our only connection?

Oh dear father, the blame is not yours alone
Some roads lead nowhere
With your arms opened, there's only change left to embrace
I can still see you with your eyes closed in despair

I don't wanna be part of this mess
And I don't wanna be part of your world
Please sever the ties
Let my feet leave the ground

I will fly on and on
Until my wings will become weak

Back to square one again, am I really here?
Our hazy memories floating
Flooding the back of my mind
I can't handle this, from the inside out it tears me apart
