[Verse 1]
Taken what was mine, stolen
Buried underneath the very promise he made

Standing by the flames
You stoke them
And wonder why the end
Always seems so far away
(Follow and you will see)

You can't erase me
Lost and found, I crawled out of the river
(Why did you have to go?)
Of the river
(Why did you have to go?)

Sealed tight to the end
With all my broken bones
What do you take me for?
What do you take me for?

[Chorus]
I'll never be what you had dreamed, escape from your "reality"
Open my eyes, now I can see what lies beneath
You see, I'm gone and who I was will never be
Consider it a death in the family
[Post-Chorus]
A death in the family
Consider it a death in the family

[Verse 2]
Air in my lungs
Through chamber smoke
I've come undone
I'm the only hope

And yeah, you should fear me
And yeah, you should run
I'm tired of dreaming
Of what should be done

[Chorus]
I'll never be what you had dreamed, escape from your "reality"
Open my eyes, now I can see what lies beneath
You see, I'm gone and who I was will never be
Consider it a death in the family

[Post-Chorus]
A death in the family
Consider it a death in the family

[Outro]
Standing by the flames
You stoke them
And wonder why the end
Always seems so far away
