After All

Fire burn in the house tonight
No more gripping veins, avoid the fight
It's time to stand and face the truth
That you are not the family heirloom

They only take and take, and never give
Break and change chain of memories
And the child can't hear your call
Turns out you were vile

After all
Always, you were always (always)
And the child can't hear your call
Turns out you were vile after all
And the child can't hear your call
Turns out you were vile (after all)

And broke every ounce of trust we had
Turns out you were vile after all
And the family waits in silence
Turning a blind eye to abuse and violence
You haunt these halls I walk at night
Keeping me awake in spite of resentment
Loveless wasteland
A shelter with the roof caved in

I can't stand another minute
In this place, afraid to show my face
Leave him where he chose to be
Just rusted and old, peel the fools gold
And make his body cold
Shivering from head to toe
You want me to shake your hand in hell?
Turns out you were vile (after all)

And broke any ounce of trust we had
Turns out you were vile after all
And the family waits in silence
Turning a blind eye to abuse and violence (after all)
And broke any ounce of trust we had
Turns out you were vile after all
And the family waits in silence
Turning a blind eye to abuse and violence

You haunt these halls I walk at night
Keeping me awake in spite of resentment
Loveless wasteland
A shelter with the roof caved in

Fire burning in the house tonight
No more gripping veins, avoid the fight
Fire burning in the house tonight
No more gripping veins, avoid the fight

Fire burn in the house tonight (house tonight)
No more gripping veins, avoid the fight (avoid the fight)
It's time to stand and face the truth (face the truth)
That you are not the family heirloom

Push his face in the fucking dirt
Make him feel that identic hurt
God's not looking out for you
You are not the family heirloom

Fire burn in the house tonight (house tonight)
No more gripping veins, avoid the fight (avoid the fight)
It's time to stand and face the truth (face the truth)
That you are not the family heirloom

No you are not (no you are not)
You were never (you were never)
And you will never, the family heirloom (you will never be)
