The Dust Of My Dad's Dreams Lyrics

[Verse 1: Weerd Science]
It all started innocent enough
Just a couple kids tryna live it up
Was it talent or just dumb luck?
I never did get out a couple holes that I had dug
There's no solace, the folly of love
Pretended it didn't hurt but it really does
We were young once
Young enough not to see what the world does
Young enough to think that we would never be washed up
When it stepped in shit, hit the pot love
Man, the funny thing about success is
Even your own bloodline can come to resent it
And all I ever did was want to make you proud
Busted my ass just to put these records out and
Even your tears couldn't make me change
Never get back the years that I gave away

[Chorus: Claudio Sanchez]
Well it's not my fault that you should feel hurt in any way
Oh, it's no excuse, no remorse, let the chips fall as they may

[Verse 2: Weerd Science]
I was raised on the dust of my dad's dreams
And he stayed for his family
Never a man of means but over the years showed me exactly
What being a man means
That's something I carry with me always
Kind of like soul rappers from the old days
There's a heart in the [cracker?]
And it's not supposed to be disposed of and thrown away
I gave it everything I had in me
And yes, there is damage in my absence
Lost friends who left too soon tragically
Our little habits evolved into madness And it created and cast its
Shadow over all of our caskets
And it would've festered an abscess
Finally moving on from the past tense

[Chorus: Claudio Sanchez]
Well it's not my fault that you should feel hurt in any way
Oh it's no excuse, no remorse, let the chips fall as they may

[Bridge: Claudio Sanchez & Weerd Science
We found hope in a hollow place
I was raised on the dust of my dad's dreams
We found home in another way
I was raised on the dust of my dad's dreams
We found hope in a hollow place
But you can't forgive me
We found home in another way
But you deem me unworthy

[Chorus: Claudio Sanchez]
Well it's not my fault that you should feel hurt in any way
Oh it's no excuse, no remorse, let the chips fall as they may

[Outro: Claudio Sanchez & Weerd Science
(We found hope in a hollow place)
Well it's not my fault that you should feel hurt in any way
(We found home in another way)
Oh it's no excuse, no remorse, let the chips fall as they may
We found hope in a hollow place
I was raised in the dust of my dad's dreams
We found home in another way
I was raised in the dust of my dad's dreams
We found hope in a hollow place
I was raised in the dust of my dad's dreams
We found home in another way
I was raised in the dust of my dad's dreams
