Songtext Generations Kyla La Grange

Generations

We're all born with a broken heart
See, they carry you to your mother's arms screaming
"I didn't ask to be here"
We're all carrying someone else's grief
You're a carnival of the unpleasant feelings
They didn't know how to feel

And you're bitter to your bones, but you let it lie
You keep running like the sun, could escape the sky

But I am breathing us
The little lines on my fingertips will never run
And although my cells divide
You're in every one
And we are made of dust
Generations of particles that look like us
And although I try to run
You're in my blood

We're all more than the sum of our parts
But you'll lie awake under a childhood ceiling
That you cannot break
We're all sure that we're in a false start
And you're wide awake when you should be dreaming
You hear your heart race

And you're bitter to your bones, but you let it lie
You keep running like the sun, could escape the sky

But I am breathing us
The little lines on my fingertips will never run
And although my cells divide
You're in every one
And we are made of dust
Generations of particles that look like us
And although I try to run
You're in my blood

Pick up all the pieces of the ones you love
Pick up all the pieces that you own
You're more than the pieces of the ones you love
You're more than the blood inside your bones
Pick up all the pieces of the ones you love
Pick up all the pieces that you own
You're more than the pieces of the ones you love
You're more than the blood inside your bones
