All Through a Life

All through a life

And through the lives that came before

The ties that bind to blind

Of those that came before

I'm looking back

And in looking back I hope to get beyond

And start to mend all those days

That they left undoneBut in my veins a trace remainsAnd to want in the face of need

Well it just seems so obscene

But that's all thats left

And that's all they've left to leave

And then they point to themselves and say,

"I look like you."

And it hurts to hear and so it must be trueBut in my veins a trace remains
