Exiting The Fall

Paper Trail
Handed off, the bottle dropped through the generations from father to son and to the son you never loved, did you find forgiveness wasn't enough?
You sat there in drunkenness topping it off.
I watched a dead man die right before my eyes and fade into absence.
Now believe what you once thought a lie is not just an accident.
Honestly, how can you stare at truth and not be convinced to believe?
And on your death bed you cried out my name seeing the memories of me through the morphine.
And I was just a child by your bedside when I watched your eyes fading in and out of life.
Oh I remember how you looked at me, but I ain't the savior that you need me to be.
I watched a dead man die right before my eyes and fade into absence.
Now believe what you once thought a lie is not just an accident.
Honestly, how can you stare at truth and not be convinced?
The hospital walls are closing in, it's not too late to turn from the darkness.
A paper trail is your legacy mixed with the blood of your family.
