In A Cradle Past

He was so much older
She thought him wiser too
Her years hadn't shown her the truth
And she believed
And she believed until the end
He played his Hammond for the grocery bill
She couldn't shake the little thing
That paved their way to war
A war, she couldn't win

Could you still love him, yeah
Forgive him for it
No I, no
Don't ever think I can do it, yeah
Don't ever think I can

Round with twins she found a way
When she was with a woman that she thought she'd trust
They drugged her to confusion
Too gray to think straight
The battle of depression that she held at bay
Was his chance to find a new life and he signed her babes away

All the stars are out
Brightly spin in space
A trillion people born on every single day
How could you think your life is only just about you
It's for everyone
And on, and on, and on, and on

Now, father do you think that you could find a way
To rid yourself of karma and the harm you did?
My brothers and my sisters, they are lost to me
My mother's heart was buried, irretrievably
The lives you scarred and splintered
You can never heal

All the stars are out
Brightly spin in space
A trillion people born on every single day
How could you think your life is only just about you
It's for everyone
And on, and on, and on, and on

(Ey oh)
(In a cradle past)

Could you still love him, yeah
Forgive him for it
No I, no
Don't ever think I can do it, yeah
Don't ever think I can

Could you still love him, yeah
Forgive him for it
No I, no
Don't ever think I can do it, yeah
Don't ever think I can

In a cradle past
(In a cradle past)
(Ey oh)
