Family Tradition

I tried to be the one that everybody loved

Your hands that got me

I tear myself to shreds

To prove that I'm someone

That I could never me

Now these unsightly marks define me

So help me

Please someone come quick

I think I am losing it

Forget me

I inherited this

From a stranger I'll never miss

I'm sick

My Father taught me

Firsthand how to be set free

Give up and run away

I wish I could drain

Out his half of blood in me

But I still have his face

I curse reflections every day

So help me

Please someone come quick

I think I am losing it

Forget me

I inherited this

From a stranger I'll never miss

Here is my own family tradition

Following footsteps into addiction

So is there a way

That I can find peace while still marrying my pain

Is this my fate

Cuz your only son still can't seem to find his way

So help me

Please someone come quick

I think I am losing it

Forget me

I inherited this

From a stranger I'll never miss

So father where the hell are you now

I think that you would be proud

Your son who's so unlike a leaf

Fell right next to the tree

I hope you're proud of me

I hope you're proud
