Blood and Water Lyrics

I was born into a clan

Of poisonous wealth

Built upon misfortune

Which grew up a fortune

But it is unfortunate

That it is unknown

Just who is suffering

Behind all the years

Is blood thicker than the water?

Is your blood thicker than my water?

Is my blood thicker than your water?

Lies

Stacked on top of other lies

Flies

Buzzing round and splitting ties

She cries

And wonders why they never try to understand her pain

Understand her life

Understand that she has done her best for them

Realise their fault

Reanalyse their words

Reanimate the love lost to greed

Now all of this will bleed on us

A cursed inheritance devoid of trust

Shellshocked lineage faded to dust

Bury the pain underneath the scab that rusts

We are nothing like your family

We have no precious form of relativity

I'm defined by all these memories

That don't even belong to me

And I can't find myself

Cause there's no one to turn for help

There's nothing useful about this veil

In this house no one is truly happy

Way too close for comfort to reality

I can pile atop the other but I'll feel bad

It would just mean I'd sacrifice myself

And abandon everything that I thought was me

I don't know my place or worth in this family

I want to help but I'm a useless wannabe

I just want out, I just want normalcy

Please don't make me choose

Between joy and filial dues

Please don't know my friends

They're the only thing I have

Please don't make me choose

Between love and bloody shoes

Please don't force my hand

I can't bear to live with that

Please don't, please don't leave
