Your blood awaits you

I met you down by the water
We talked about the reasons why
You haven't reached out to your daughter
It's eating you alive

You think about her every hour
And most of the time, you cry
Wonder if she's tryna stay sober
Tears seem to never dry

You got a note last week
Saying she wants to change her life
Wants to make amends, no alibi defense, consider

We didn't choose this life
She's all alone now
I know, she ripped your heart out
Since the final call, you've been numb

But don't you think it is time?
Take your family home, allow
Because your blood awaits you
Deep inside, you want to be her mom, oh

Drugs will never work, she discovered
Lost and such misery finds
Smack and pills became her lover
All the different minds

She always took after her father
A drunk, weak suffering kind
He's no longer with us, erasure
That time you were blind

You got a note last week
Saying she wants to change her life
Wants to make amends, no alibi defense, consider

We didn't choose this life
She's all alone now
I know, she ripped your heart out
Since the final call, you've been numb

But don't you think it is time?
Take your family home, allow
Because your blood awaits you
Deep inside, you want to be her mom

(For your concern, I thank you, mother)
(Forget me, I'm not here)

You got a note last week
Saying she wants to change her life
Wants to make amends, no alibi defense, consider

I know it's my turn to speak
And I'm sorry for the lies
Please tear down your pretense, I want to be your friend, not a trigger
(Forever is a long, long time)

We didn't choose this life
She's all alone now
I know, she ripped your heart out
Since the final call, you've been numb

But don't you think it is time?
Take your family home, allow
Because your blood awaits you
Deep inside, you want to be her mom

We didn't choose this life
She's all alone now
I know, she ripped your heart out
Since the final call, you've been numb

But don't you think it is time?
Take your family home, allow
Because your blood awaits you
Deep inside, you want to be her mom

Her mom
