It's the mother who said she loved me
And the father who never knew me
My sister left the cradle
An empty seat at the table

It's never one thing, it's many
The broken pieces fall
It's every tear that we bury
That cause the great withdrawal
That cause the great withdrawal

It's every friend that betrayed me
It's the time they never gave to me
And from the anger they hated
Oh, my family separated

It's never one thing, it's many
That cause our faith to fall
It's every burden we carry
That cause the great withdrawal
That cause the great withdrawal

There are some prisons
That were handed down
And so in our minds we can't believe
And though they do not exist
We are still bound
But there's time to change your destiny

It's never one thing, it's many
That cause our faith to fall
It's every tear that we bury
That cause the great withdrawal
That cause the great withdrawal
