Bound By Cold Blood

I'm bound by cold blood
Trace lines on me
I'm bound by old minds
See right through me

Take a good look
At this wilting tree
We let it die a circular ending
The damage is in our bones and words

I never knew my father's parents
They died before I was born
A branch, severed and left to rot
He never picked it up
He failed to keep in touch

I never ate my ah ma's cooking
And everybody else forgot the recipes
He sacrificed his ease for my life
How could I repay that price?
She cried her eyes out at every hospital
Was I really a tough boy?

My absent-minded future is lost with the riches
But I'm here right beneath my stubborn cheek
Daydreaming

This house is full of strangers
I'm still searching for my name
That house is infested with parasites
I won't give you any red packets
Horses in his head
Money spent and left for dead
Neglect her love's history
Disconnect my own misery

I've lost myself in the whirlwind of rages
There is only hatred
I've split myself into four different images
Do you see me among them?
I've wiped myself off the face of these pages
We're trapped in these cages

I guess I'll disown myself

We are bound to our family
We are bound to know history
We are burdened with agony
We will suffer in secrecy
