I've lived my life with a backpack That was never mine to carry
Heard its constant whine, saw its body That was never mine to bury
There's trouble in the genes dad told me
Don't ask again best we don't bring it up
Dad it seems you can clear away the smoke of fires you can't find
I've lived my life with a longing that I can't identify
I've been kept from, held from knowing
Daddy that's why it keeps on growing
Well I found the dead animal The smell stems from
I found the story from which The shadow was cast
I searched and searched And now that I found it
I wanna give it back
I searched and searched And now that I found it
I wanna give it back
There's trouble in the family, I tell you
I'm knowing now that I do
Kid I'm passing it on to you
But let's not speak of it, son
It only brings us down
But let's not speak of it, son
It only brings us down
