I was a child
Born to be broken
I had everything
Except words unspoken
I didn’t see you for months
Even though you lived so near
Too distracted
By your own world to even care
Raised by anyone
I felt neglected
You were my mother
Raised by anyone
I felt abandoned
For being different
And I know you had tried your best
But it was never good enough
You don’t know the effect
That you had on me
You gave me life
But you were never there
And I’m tired of this pain
(I’m choosing to forgive)
And I’m tired of this hate in me
(But I’ll never forget)
You don’t know the effect
That you had on me
I see now the worst parts of me came from you
But I can’t seem to shake this fractured view
I fear I’m as selfish as you were
And one day my kids will resent me too
You were supposed to keep me safe
Instead you were too wrapped up
In your own faith
And I can safely say I’m proud
Of the person you are today
But you used to let me down
Is it too hard to hear me say?
You don’t know the effect
That you had on me
You gave me life
But you were never there
And I’m tired of this pain
(I’m choosing to forgive)
And I’m tired of this hate in me
(But I’ll never forget)
You don’t know the effect
That you had on me
You gave me life
But you never taught me how to live
Somehow I survived
In the end we all pay for our sins
Mom, I want you to know
You are not who you were before
And even though it seems I can’t let it go
I forgave you a long time ago
You gave me life
But you never taught me how to live
Somehow I survived
In the end we’ll all pay for our sins

Hey everyone! Tyler, here. Just wanted to stop in and say thank you all so much for watching the “Over The Cradle” video and for streaming our new album in general. Y’all have no idea how much it means to us, to go through everything we’ve gone through, lost everything we’ve lost, and still have the incredible support we’ve experienced from this release, especially being our second album in under two years.
“Over the Cradle” is probably one of the deepest songs I’ve written. While it’s still an emotional song, which is usually our bread and butter lyrically, I’ve never a written song dedicated to the struggles I had as a young teen and the fractured relationship I had with my mother, that took well over a decade for us to fully recover from.
While the past can’t be changed, the future is never set. And even though my experiences aren’t the same experiences that some of you have had with your parents, I feel like this song is for all of us, who felt lost or forgotten as kids. I hope you all find peace with your pasts, whether that’s with your parents in your life, or not.
Video fun fact: The 3 kids in the video are actually my sons, Preston, Logan, and Nathan. They had never stepped in front of the camera before and I think they did absolutely amazing with their acting. It’s a little wild seeing them on screen, in this manner. Definitely makes me shed a tear every time I watch it. But I’m glad I finally got to include them in one of HF’s videos. It was a great experience, that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.
I’m extremely grateful that my relationship with them is as strong as it is, and that I’m able to share my career, my passions, and my dreams with them. I promised myself when they were born that I’d never make them feel the way I felt as a kid and I think I’ve more than been able to keep that promise, even if I haven’t been a perfect parent all the time.
Aaannnnddd I'm crying.
Love this Song
This feels like 2010s metal core honestly I love it
The exiting acoustic bit gave me goosebumps! in love with this new album. so much rawness.
the guitar part at the end really throws me off whenever he purposely plays the note thats out of key….
but other than that, this song is great
