Family Values

We saw the retribution,
We saw the games you play
Shutting your ears to the sound of desperation
We were young and innocent,
The tears were streaming down her face
You should have been more subtle,
Can you feel the shame?

I’m not the one to blame, I’m not the one to change
Every night you stumble on the same wall.
Seek forgiveness, for the restless
Your past is what still haunts you,
And mostly what you’re made of,
And why you’re so lonely

The walls you’ve built will break down, let everybody see,
How you’re killing me, killing me
Black out, face the facts
You owe this to yourself
And if honesty makes you tremble
It’s time to take your business elsewhere.
It’s all about the family values
It’s all about the life you left us for
Now! Let the levies of virtue break
Let the levies of virtue break

Shatter the dream,
Collect the pieces,
Take the fall
Shatter the dream,
Collect the pieces,
Blind us with your open arms
Carry me the way back home.
Can’t you see that we’re falling down?

Do you know what this means to me?
It’s breaking, it’s tearing me down
Do you know what this means to me?
You’re tearing, you’re breaking me down
Black out, face the facts. You owe this to yourself
