Lyrics for Ancestral - Live

Reason never seems to come to guilty men Things that meant so much mean nothing in the end Our function is dysfunction and to hide the truth Distracted by their faith, ignoring every proof A bicycle, a garden wall A mother's call, a love is born And after all, the sleep that falls on me And in this city, there are these who'd live alone Twilight brings them from the gloom into our homes And hiding there amongst the wreckage left behind They see things that haunt them when they close their eyes Come back if you want to And remember who you are 'Cause there's nothing here for you, my dear And everything must pass When the world doesn't want you It will never tell you why You can shut the door, but you can't ignore The crawl of your decline Come back if you want to (child, come, child, come) (Child, come, child, come) Come back if you want to (child, come, child, come) Come back (child, come, child, come) A bicycle, a garden wall A mother's call, a love is born And after all, the sleep that falls on me (Thank you very much)
