I think it's somethin' in my DNA I try to change, but keep on makin' the same mistakes Mine in a prison, my heart in a cage The sins of the father are somewhere they lay Who am I kiddin', you reap what you sow Note that time is a virtue and patience I owe Cause my soul's under pressure, I feel it implode Lord please give me perspective, it rattles my bones Who am I kiddin', you reap what you sow Note that time is a virtue and patience I owe Cause my soul's under pressure, I feel it implode Lord please give me perspective, it rattles my bones I think there's something in my DNA I try to change but keep on making the same mistakes Mind in a prison, my heart in a cage The sins of the father are somewhere to lay Maybe I'm looking for someone to blame More than I blame myself I think I'm looking for someone to hate More than I hate myself Thought I'd be better off here on my own But wasting away is all that I know Lessons I learned, the hard way I'm told I'm living together but dying alone Only a double this time, I'll be the swallow I'm so tired of letting you sway Your blood is blind to my veins Can you not end up the same? Tears rolling off of my face I think there's something in my DNA I try to change but keep on making the same mistakes Mind in a prison, my heart in a cage The sins of the father are somewhere to lay Maybe I'm looking for someone to blame More than I blame myself I think I'm looking for someone to hate More than I hate myself Thought I'd be better off here on my own But wasting away is all that I know Lessons I learned, the hard way I'm told We're living together but dying alone
