Heirloom Pain NIKI

[Verse 1]
Build a pillow barricade so the ghosts can't get to me
Twenty-something instincts, feel like a deadbeat dad
Never there when it counts and puts you right in therapy
Life is a gamble, baby, and you'll have to live with that

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but I'll be fine 'cause I always end up
Just fine, then I call a friend up
That's just how it is

[Chorus]
And I wake up tired and vaguely sore
Stir a pot when I'm feeling bored
Full-sending a lot, only halfway sure
Walking around with heirloom pain
Dad's temper and Mom's mistakes
And always afraid to fall flat on my face
But doing it anyway

[Post-Chorus]
I'm doing it anyway

[Verse 2]
Walls up to the skies, many men have marched around
To no avail, there's Achilles, then there's his God-forsaken heel
