What You Left Behind Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This house doesn't feel like home
When the ghosts of the past walk through these halls
Just a part of the syndrome
Skeletons so lost, hid in the walls
I don't run 'cause I can't escape
Every time they call my name
[Pre-Chorus]
Let down, dragged out in the pouring rain
Left to drown, left to drown, I see it on their face
With every promise you have broken
Another crack forms in the foundation
[Chorus]
Maybe they'll hear us screaming from our lungs
Maybe they'll see us standing in our graves, fighting through our pain
Through our pain
[Verse 2]
Awake in an empty tomb, floating echoes reside that were left by you
Living life in a circle
I feel you here, you're the toxin in this room
I can't run, I can't escape
Until the day that you're erased
This house doesn't feel like home
When the ghosts of the past walk through these halls
Just a part of the syndrome
Skeletons so lost, hid in the walls
I don't run 'cause I can't escape
Every time they call my name
[Pre-Chorus]
Let down, dragged out in the pouring rain
Left to drown, left to drown, I see it on their face
With every promise you have broken
Another crack forms in the foundation
[Chorus]
Maybe they'll hear us screaming from our lungs
Maybe they'll see us standing in our graves, fighting through our pain
Through our pain
[Verse 2]
Awake in an empty tomb, floating echoes reside that were left by you
Living life in a circle
I feel you here, you're the toxin in this room
I can't run, I can't escape
Until the day that you're erased
[Pre-Chorus]
Let down, dragged out in the pouring rain
Left to drown, left to drown, I see it on their face
With every promise you have broken
Another crack forms in the foundation
[Chorus]
Maybe they'll hear us screaming from our lungs
Maybe they'll see us standing in our graves, fighting through our pain
[Bridge]
Flesh of Your flesh
Blood of Your blood
Can nothing, no one, teach them to love?
Flesh of Your flesh
Blood of Your blood
Can nothing, no one, teach them how to love?
Teach them how to love?
[Breakdown]
They may be forgotten, but I won't forget
The hate that you left, the unpayable debt
With each passing moment the fire consumes
Your pride will bury you
[Outro]
Take a look at what you left behind
Take a look at what you left behind
Let down, dragged out in the pouring rain
Left to drown, left to drown, I see it on their face
With every promise you have broken
Another crack forms in the foundation
[Chorus]
Maybe they'll hear us screaming from our lungs
Maybe they'll see us standing in our graves, fighting through our pain
[Bridge]
Flesh of Your flesh
Blood of Your blood
Can nothing, no one, teach them to love?
Flesh of Your flesh
Blood of Your blood
Can nothing, no one, teach them how to love?
Teach them how to love?
[Breakdown]
They may be forgotten, but I won't forget
The hate that you left, the unpayable debt
With each passing moment the fire consumes
Your pride will bury you
[Outro]
Take a look at what you left behind
Take a look at what you left behind

Genius Annotation
From Kerrang interview with Ryan Kirby:
“This song from two perspectives – one being my wife and I’s, and the other being from our kids. It’s a song speaking to their biological parents, about how hard it is for them to move on, and the hurt/trauma they have caused them. How pride is keeping them from being a part of their life, not owning up to the mistakes, and the pain they have caused.”
