Blood and Water

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 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
