Music: Moses Sumney/Kara Jackson/Joseph Shirley
Sins of the father come down
Trickle off of the apple tree mound
How he don't sweat
Losing bets
And he don't lose sleep
Losing me
Sins of the mother sustain
Bounce around like a valley refrain
How she shirks amends
For revenge
And she don't lose sleep
Losing me
Half of my life is spent
Redeeming all her deepest regrets
My inheritance is my loneliness
'Cause this bloodline ends with my final breath
Child of the water-worn leaves
Will I starve out my whole family tree?
How I don't sweat
Losing them
And I don't lose sleep 'bout my family
