these patterns are born   and patterns repeat   patterns divide and rejoin    and they leave the   past at your feet   so step and be safe   your father is right by your side   he'll take you for all of your money   your health, your kids, and your bride   replace my name with your own,    i'll soon be gone   i'll leave my trespasses at home,    and you leave your own      these patterns are born   and they will repeat   he's there in the sight of yourself in the mirror,   haven't you seen?   and you will deny,   you think your lover won't crack the disguise…   until he comes riding the waves    down her face from out of her eyes   replace my name with your own,   i'll soon be gone   i'll leave my trespasses at home   and you leave your own
