A Fool's Gold Inheritance

I don't plan on these words resonating very deep But I need to get this - Get this off of my chest Lately I've been getting low Starting to think I think like you It runs in the family And I never fell far from the tree I never fell far from the tree I'm learning from my mistakes Trying to break my roots As the soil passes through I'll dig myself in I want to say that I've changed That I've grown close to the sun When will I know if I'm there I want to say that I've changed That I've grown close to the sun When will I know if I'm there If I go down this path alone Will I make it on my own Or end up worn to the bone When will I know Sorry's just a word without change Indifferent to the user who's never learned to change their ways Even with their backs against the wall And push finally came to shove So stuck in their own way They don't even know who they're behind A dog chasing its tail - bloodied paws and tired eyes Yearning to satisfy an urge Primal and unyielding - forever marching forward Alive but trapped by duty - Alive but trapped Primal and unyielding - forever marching forward Alive but trapped by duty Alive
