Andy Northrup - Leave It Behind

I gave your winged friend the choice at the window

You're tearless and fearless in this type of matter

Cause you're rolling heart don't let the moss gather

And then you tell me how you got no excuse

And yeah, you're right, but I've still got this question for you

What runs through your vains, is it blood or is it water

Cause you spit out your disdain but is your mind any broader

Than the ones that you judge,

the ones that are still out there trying

And I gave you my name but I can't be your father

So I'll take it back again and you can try for another

But I think that you'll find that these questions

arise like they have now for us

As we leave it behind

Well I paid the gas bill, you paid your lawyer

I look like shit and you feel like Tom Sawyer

I'm wasted and weary and you check your futures

We ripped out the cancer but forgot the sutures

And now I see you with that smile on your face

It makes me think of all the times that you'll hear someone say

What runs through your vains, is it blood or is it water

Cause you spit out your disdain but is your mind any broader

Than the ones that you judge, the ones that are still out there trying (you know they're trying)

And I gave you my name but I can't be your father

So I'll take it back again and you can try for another

But I think that you'll find that these questions

arise like they have now for us

As we leave it behind

And we're leaving it behind.
