Blood On The Leaves (Bonus Track) Lyrics

They wanna see us bleed like there's blood on the leaves

That's why were cutting veins on our family tree

They wanna see him bleed like there's blood on the leaves

That's why he's cutting veins on his family tree

It's been about a year since his dad just up and left

Left him with his sister and the feeling of regret, like

What did he do wrong? How was he not good enough?

Blames it on himself, it's no wonder he's in cuffs

Falling into drugs, there's no one that he can trust

Everybody leaves, lost the people that he loves

He tried to make it sober but the weights been getting heavy

Working double shifts but he's never seen a penny

Does it for his sister, she don't know that he's feels empty

Waking up from nightmares, contemplating shit at twenty

He gets inside the car, doing ninety down a B road

Picking up the bottle, now he's losing all control

Sees a pair of headlights, turns the wheel but he slips

His sister lay in bed, while his body lays there limp

They wanna see us bleed like there's blood on the leaves

That's why we're cutting veins on our family tree

They wanna see us bleed like there's blood on the leaves

That's why we're cutting veins on our family tree

They wanna see her bleed like there's blood on the leaves

That's why she's cutting veins on her family tree

She told them she was pregnant and support was all she wanted

They took away her house keys now she's treated like a problem

She told her parents, stay away, she's gunna raise this baby

Her friends have all been talking bout it, thinking that she's crazy

No father in the picture, she knows he's been absent lately

But she's just thinking baby names like maybe Hallie Casey

She doesn't know what to do or if she'll even make it through

She doesn't even have a clue but she'll just take a pill or two

She wants to numb the pain but she's looking through the window pane

At another family, wondering if they ever feel the same

Next thing that she knows she's celebrating twenty weeks

Barely seen parents but she's tryna keep the peace

Then a fight breaks out, back to arguing like kids

She's goes to say a word and feels the baby start to kick

They wanna see us bleed like there's blood on the leaves

That's why we're cutting veins on our family tree

They wanna see us bleed like there's blood on the leaves

That's why we're cutting veins on our family tree

They wanna see me bleed like there's blood on the leaves

That's why I'm cutting veins on my family tree

People in my corner in my camp they tryna knock me

Saying I've done something motherfucker you are not me

Changing your perception cause you found me in a cell

You know I didn't do it, how you act I might as well

You treat me like a burden like I didn't walk through hell

You know I met the devil, got a room at his hotel

You wonder why I'm drinking but you never stop to think

Why I wouldn't speak to people but I'm wasting all this ink

Take revenge through pen and pad, you know it's interlinked

I wish that I could take it back like an angel when you blink

I think about that night and I get scared of when I sleep

I smoked my lungs to death and now it burns me when I breathe

I'm never getting through this and it fucking hurts to think

That you cut me open now my bloods on all the leaves

They wanna see us bleed like there's blood on the leaves

That's why we're cutting veins on our family tree
