lyrics

We were brought up this way
Believing we'd be better off
Than what has been displayed for us
But when our thoughts collide
We become victims of, of no compromise

We are not satisfied
How can we be satisfied?

And so it's come to this
The branches tangle and they twist
They belong to our family trees
We cannot resist
breaking bonds and clenching fists
Tangling branches of our family trees

I've seen the biggest mess
And I could never forget all the inconvenience
Of being thrown from side to side
There was no wrong, there was no right
There were only sides I was s'posed to take

We are not satisfied
How can we be satisfied?

And so it's come to this
The branches tangle and they twist
They belong to our family trees
We cannot resist
breaking bonds and clenching fists
Tangling branches of our family trees

And so we'll go on making promises
Keeping them for them for fractions of the time we intended
