Family Tradition

I tried to be the one that everybody loved

Where has that gotten me?

I tear my self to shreds to prove that I'm someone

That I could never be

Now these unslightly marks define me

So help me, please someone come quick

I think I am losing it

Forgive me, I inherited this

From a stranger I'll never miss

I'm sick

My father taught me first hand how to be set free

Give up and run away

I wish I could drain out his half of blood in me

But I'd still have his face

I curse reflections every day

So help me, please someone come quick

I think I am losing it

Forgive 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 numbing my pain?

Is this my fate?

Cause your only son still

Can't seem to find his way

So help me, please someone come quick

I think I am losing it

Forgive 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 unluckily

Fell right next to the tree

I hope you're proud of me

I hope you're proud
