Blood Related
Dinner table silence, internal teenage violence
Starin' in my father's stress-filled eyes
His back was probably hurtin' from life's financial burden
Same type of pressure I've internalized
'Cause time, it flies, and the fire dies like candles on a cake
College debt and cigarettes, and all our shared mistakes
It's a vicious cycle that nobody can escape
Blood related and tryin' to relate
She lived the life they taught her
Had a son, she had a daughter
A martyr for her children's happiness
In a picture of a past life, a future lookin' so bright
Smilin' in her Easter Sunday dress
Summertime and light blue eyes, and love that likely fades
Wedding dress, white picket fence, pressure to procreate
It's a vicious cycle that nobody can escape
Blood related and tryin' to relate
Amidst a mid-life crisis, left up to your own devices
Starin' at your half-full glass of wine
'Cause you gave them the cold shoulder, but I bet before it's over
You're gonna wish that you had more time
'Cause time, it flies and fire dies, and people will make mistakes
Photographs and epitaphs, and flowers on the grave
It's a vicious cycle, it's a never-ending fate
Blood related and tryin' to relate
Blood related and tryin' to relate
Blood related and tryin' to relate
Wave goodbye to the camera (bye)
Wave goodbye to the camera, Thomas (bye)
Wave goodbye, honey
Wave goodbye, Thomas
