Lyrics
0:00Heirloom Pain - NIKI
0:03Build a pillow barricade so the ghosts can't get to me
0:10Twenty-something instincts feel like a deadbeat dad
0:18Never there when it counts and puts you right in therapy
0:24Life is a gamble baby and you'll have to live with that
0:31Oh but I'll be fine 'cause I always end up
0:35Just fine then I call a friend up
0:39That's just how it is
0:43And I wake up tired and vaguely sore
0:47Stir a pot when I'm feeling bored
0:51Full-sending a lot only halfway sure
0:57Walking around with heirloom pain
1:02Dad's temper and Mom's mistakes
1:05And always afraid to fall flat on my face
1:10But doing it anyway
1:13I'm doing it anyway
1:26Walls up to the skies many men have marched around to no avail
1:32There's Achilles then there's his God-forsaken heel
1:39I do the dishes and tend the garden
1:44Soften up where I used to harden
1:47And take a moonlit walk
1:50One two three four
1:51And I wake up tired and vaguely sore
1:56Stir a pot when I'm feeling bored
1:59Full-sending a lot only halfway sure oh
2:06Walking around with heirloom pain
2:10Grandma left but her heartache stayed
2:13And now I'm always afraid to take up space
2:18Yet doing it anyway
2:24I'm doing it anyway oh
2:34People fall in love and fuck up
2:37And have kids who fall in love and fuck up
2:40Who have kids that fall in love and have you
2:48People fall in love and fuck up
2:51We all fall in love and fuck up
2:55You will fall in love and fuck up too
