Thanks for keeping this updated :) So a couple more minor corrections. I found them from this link that another user posted on the lyrics I'd transcribed for other songs on this album : http://www.ramonafalls.com/ReadProphet.txt
Considering it comes from the official Ramona Falls website, I'm assuming it's legit (although there are a couple instances in other songs of some very slight variations between what Brent wrote and what he actually sang in the studio.)
Anyhow, to save you some time here are the few corrections I found:
"I'd sell my talents" rather than "tell my talents"
and
"To recreate ourselves in kin" rather than "again"
That second little change is quite telling. The idea of trying to "recreate" yourself through your child (basically to live vicariously through them) really summarizes this whole song for me. The more I listen, the more I feel this is my favorite of the entire album.
Lyrics have been updated. Thanks again for the input. The meaning certainly does come around full circle with that last change. At times it seems like a child being alternately grateful and frustrated at parental guidance or perhaps a parent trying to live vicariously through his or her offspring. Or maybe both...
