Nature vs Nurture |
I’ve been looking at that shadow that’s inside of me for quite some time |
Sunk my teeth in the light |
As a young man blind |
But never regret the process |
Or regret time |
Just wish I could have helped the 3 of us |
And breached that line |
Like how the hell was I supposed to know? |
It’s the symbiotic circle that we all helped grow |
And when it all fell through |
Yeah, we all sunk in the same link |
And drowned in that vision of our future in the same day and |
You can tell it to the doctor when he asks you |
Or carve it in your little prison wall like a tattoo but |
We got a frozen rock of luck like a statue |
That stands at the crossroads, blocking where to pass through |
Damn, that’s part of living on the off-beat and |
Part of skipping down that never-ending dark street so |
You can fight it and draw the difference between us |
Because the blood doesn’t match |
But the God-damned disease does |
How many more hearts are we going to break? |
How many failed steps are we going to take? |
It’s time to look at what we got here |
Standing on the verge of that age old question |
Is it nature versus nurture? |
How many more lines are we going to cross |
Until we figure out the pain we caused? |
It’s time to look at what we got here |
Standing on the verge of that age old question |
Is it Nature versus Nurture? |
I flipped through that little photo book that Ma made |
And looked for the warning signs crawling out of my face |
I’ve been questioning the level of our mind state |
That made us feel like everything around us was a crying shame |
No answer, just a whole bunch of burned bridges |
Earned stitches in that curve in our world’s rythmn |
And I don’t know where we learned this from |
Or how it stuck with you after all the worse was done |
But it scares me |
Yeah, and I’m not afraid to say it |
I’m ready to wake the demon and enclose it up and face it |
And take it out and display it |
And show the world that it’s real |
Stop running from the past like it’s going to make you heal |
Because it can’t |
And maybe that’s the reason why I see it |
And feel it in my pen when I sit down and treat it |
And after all of it’s done, you don’t have to believe it |
When the blood doesn’t match |
And the God-damned disease lives |
How many more hearts are we going to break? |
How many failed steps are we going to take? |
It’s time to look at what we got here |
Standing on the verge of that age old question |
Is it nature versus nurture? |
How many more lines are we going to cross |
Until we figure out the pain we caused? |
It’s time to look at what we got here |
Standing on the verge of that age old question |
Is it Nature versus Nurture? |
