Lyrics:
Misinterpret, “blood is thicker than water”
You can choose your friends, but cant choose your father
I dont hold on “hope” the same anymore
Thicker than water of the womb
Love is earned, its a mistake to assume
I dont hold “hope” the same anymore
Dont say you know me cause you knew me
When i was half alive
Not Safe enough to feel rage rooting through my spine
no excuse, just dont need to take your advice
Wish that i could split myself in two,
One for the stage, the other half for you
chasing my future can be so unforgiving
mix my time, drink it down with wishful thinking
Hope doesn’t feel the same anymore
And I Can feel you drifting like a sail in the wind
And I’m sorry love, that there’s no more time that I can Give
But I lit myself on fire, let it burn on the bridge and
I’m standing on the mountain, you watch me while you sit
Don’t say you know me cause you knew me
I was half alive
Not Safe enough to feel rage rooting through my spine
no excuse, just dont need to take your advice
Wish that i could split myself in two,
One for the stage, the other half for you
Replace pain, with say you hate me
Not my fault, but u can blame me
It’s whatever way you Frame it
Lend my hand, you wait take it 2x
(Reaching out, but you won’t take it)
I’ll hold my hand out; if you take it
thats trapped and rooted down through the spine
Asking for my time, i stretch across both sides
Survive
advice
and when you come Knocking on my door
I dont owe you anything anymore
I think this thing has run its course
Karmic circles running laps before i was born
Chasing a future feels so unforgiving
Asking for my time, stretch across both sides
Wish i could Split myself in two, one for the stage and one for you
Dont say you know me cause you knew me
Missin’ missin’
I dont hold hope the same anymore
Its just rage, because im finally safe enough to feel it
Rage rooting through my spine
Karmic ties
The Blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb
Loved is earned
Not assumed
I don’t owe you anything
