Lyrics Ancestral Trauma - Dakotaxela

It had to start somewhere
And it's stayed with us
With me
It all makes sense
Why I am the way I am
I'm not alone

I am the way I am
We can't ignore it anymore
Confront the forgotten
Just give in to it
The ancestral trauma

It doesn't look like it's going away
I've learned to live with it
Oblivious that I ever even had it
Just drink from the tree
And you'll be set free
It'll all come back to you

I am the way I am
We can't ignore it anymore
Confront the forgotten
Just give in to it
The ancestral trauma

It's all emotions
That wash over us
Afraid to face the truth
It's hard to think about
But if you give in
You'll feel some catharsis

I am the way I am
We can't ignore it anymore
Confront the forgotten
Just give in to it
The ancestral trauma
We are the way we are
We can't deny it anymore
Confront the forgotten
Just give in to it
The ancestral trauma
