Us, Ghosts - Chopping Down The Family Tree

You can't escape, you thought you'd get away?
There's no place you can run, there's no place they can't see.
Believe me, this is honesty.
There's no running from the family.

You'll sink, you'll drown
Tied to anchors.

I can't stand for new wars.
Hold me close, i'm breaking to pieces.
I can't breathe, in these walls.
These people are drowning me.

You'll never keep me down

Squirming for air, i sink into the depths.
Holding on to my life with my last breath.

Why are we meant to realize that nothing lasts forever?
What does it take for you to know.
You wish that everything was beautiful.
Feeling so neglectful, so careless.

We need to rise.
I can see the light, this won't be my demise.
Release these anchors on my feet,
These chains won't keep me down.
These chains won't keep me down!
Rise above for what you love.
Rise, you'll never take me again,
For the sake of my family, my friends.
Rise.
