Claudio Sanchez - The Dust of My Dad's Dreams lyrics

It all started innocent enough Just a couple kids tryna live it up Was it talent or just dumb luck? I never did get ahead a couple holes that I had dug There's no solace the folly of love Pretended it didn't hurt but it really does We were young once Young enough not to see what the world does Young enough to think that we would never be washed up When it stepped in sh**, hit the pot love Man the funny thing about success is that Even your own bloodline can come to resent it And all I ever did was want to make you proud Busted my a** just to put these records out and Even your tears couldn't make me change Never get back the gears that I gave away Well it's not my fault that you should feel hurt in any way Oh its no excuse, no remorse, let the chips fall as they may I was raised on the dust of my dad's dreams And he stayed for his family Never a man of means but over the years showed me exactly What being a man means That's something I carry with me always Kind of like soul rappers from the old days There's a heart in the crack and its not supposed to be disposed of Or thrown away I gave it everything I had in me And yes there is damage in my absence Lost friends who left too soon tragically Our little habits evolved into madness Into craide and caskets Shadow over all of our caskets And it would've festered an abcess Finally moving on from the past tense Well it's not my fault that you should feel hurt in any way Oh its no excuse, no remorse, let the chips fall as they may We found hope in a hell or place (?) I was raised on the dust of my dad's dreams We found home in another way I was raised on the dust of my dad's dreams We found hope in hell or place But you can't forgive me We found home in another way But you deem me unworthy Well it's not my fault that you should feel hurt in any way Oh its no excuse, no remorse, let the chips fall as they may We found hope in hell or place We found home in another way We found hope in hell or place I was raised in the dust of my dad's dreams We found home in another way
