Family Tradition

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I try to be the one that everybody loves Where has that gotten me? I tear myself to shreds to prove that I'm someone That I could never be Now, these unsightly marks define me [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge 1] 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 a way [Chorus] 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 [Bridge 2] So father, where the hell are you now? I think that you would be proud Your son, who so unluckily Fell right next to the tree [Outro] I hope you're proud of me! I hope you're proud!
