Family Tradition

I tried to be the one that everybody loved
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

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 had 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 everyday

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 a 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 so unluckly
Fell right next to the tree

I hope you're proud of me
I hope you're proud
