Family Tradition

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

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 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'd 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 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 so unluckily Fell right next to the tree

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