lyrics

You
You're more a rumor than a family man
You
Now you're a legend and I have to ask
When you were out there in space could you remember my face
Did you forget about the people you abandoned in this place


You
We've got some history, none of it mine
You
So out of touch so now I'm out of my mind

It didn't take me too long to realize you were gone
If this is how you say you're sorry then you really got it wrong

How does this work
You disappear forever still connected by this tether
How does this work
I don't want your fucking jewelry, pretty clear you never knew me
How does this work

You
You wanted me to carry on instead
And you
You're my inheritance from the dead

Your whole identity was codependency
Get this cuff off you can fuck off if you think that this is me

You
I'm not surprised it doesn't answer my call
You
Can't say you ever really knew me at all

Don’t make decisions for me, not what I wanted to be
How can you call yourself a hero when you couldn't save me

How does this work
You disappear forever still connected by this tether and
How does this work
I don't want your fucking jewelry, pretty clear you never knew me
How does this work

Shackled by your memory, the family ties that bind
How can you love me when you leave me behind

How does this work
You disappear forever still connected by this tether
How does this work
I don't want your fucking jewelry, pretty clear you never knew me
How does this work
