Sad Grandmother

We all know you didn’t want this
We all know you didn’t want this
We all know it when you haunt us
What you wanted is long gone now
And I am choking on my words
Tripping over what I heard
Think about what’s worse: walk it off or be immersed
Jumping off these walls, your energy has me enthralled
Take hold, take hold. Take hold
We all thought it’s what you taught us
We all thought it’s what you taught us
They brought it forward just to taunt us
Just to watch us fall to demise
You forgave us like it’s nothing
Told us that we still have something
You took us in after you saw us
Just to wash us of all our lies
And we have taken what you’ve told
Glorified it into gold
Locked it in a box
Take it out when we feel lost
So you’re only known to those whom we choose to show
Control, yeah. Control
And we are choking on our words
Tripping over what we’ve heard
Think about what’s worse: walk it off or be immersed
Jumping off these walls, your energy has us enthralled
Take hold, please. Take hold
