Nature Vs Nurture Lyrics - 88 Keys & Counting - Grieves

I've been looking at that shadow that's inside of me for quite some time 

Sunk my teeth in the light 

But never regret the process 

Or regret time 

Just wish I could have helped the 3 of us 

And breached that line 

Like how the hell was a supposed to know? 

It's the symbiotic circle that we all helped grow 

And when it all fell through 

Yeah, we all sunk in the same link 

And drowned in that vision of our future in the same day and 

You can tell it to the doctor when he asks you 

Or carve it in your little prison wall like a tattoo but 

We got a frozen rock of luck like a statue 

That stands at the crossroads, blocking where to pass through 

Damn, that's part of living on the off-beat and 

Part of skipping down that never-ending dark street so 

You can fight it and draw the difference between us 

Because the blood doesn't match 

But the God-damned disease does 

How many more hearts are we going to break? 

How many failed steps are we going to take? 

It's time to look at what we got here 

Standing on the verge of that age old question 

Is it nature versus nurture? 

How many more lines are we going to cross 

Until we figure out the pain we caused? 

It's time to look at what we got here 

Standing on the verge of that age old question 

Is it Nature versus Nurture? 

I flipped through that little photo book that Ma made 

And looked for the warning signs crawling out of my face 

I've been questioning the level of our mind state 

That made us feel like everything around us was a crying shame 

No answer, just a whole bunch of burned bridges 

Earned stitches in that curve in our world's rythmn 

And I don't know where we learned this from 

Or how it stuck with you after all the worse was done 

Yeah, and I'm not afraid to say it 

I'm ready to wake the demon and enclose it up and face it 

And take it out and display it 

And show the world that it's real 

Stop running from the past like it's going to make you heal 

And maybe that's the reason why I see it 

And feel it in my pen when I sit down and treat it 

And after all of it's done, you don't have to believe it 

When the blood doesn't match 

And the God-damned disease lives 

How many more hearts are we going to break? 

How many failed steps are we going to take? 

It's time to look at what we got here 

Standing on the verge of that age old question 

Is it nature versus nurture? 

How many more lines are we going to cross 

Until we figure out the pain we caused? 

It's time to look at what we got here 

Standing on the verge of that age old question 

Is it Nature versus Nurture?
