lyrics

Passed down from a father to son,
inherited by the fortunate one
who in his eighteenth year is gift the world
... but it's never enough.

Under a crown of clouds, he's helplessly equipped
with imagination, no talent to paint it.
Some kinder words have brushed his stubborn ear
... but they're never enough.

The perpetual child in him endlessly waits
for a ship he knows will never come,
while beneath his feet, his father's words engraved:
“you'll come to know this so well,

Welcome Home."

... And I've come to know this so well.
I'm so alone, found no council in flesh and bone ...

... my birthright, lucky me;
the family disease I will bequeath

But how could i inflict this on my own son?

I'll teach him all I know:
slit your throat, keep moving on.
I learned from the best; taught father to son:
slit your throat, keep moving on.

He looks just like me.

I am my father's son - inherited by the fortunate one.
