Josh Collins - bloodline (demo)
Ever since I was youngI've been told that
I have to live up to my
Bloodline, it's my birthright
Perfection, expectations
I can't keep up
Falling behind before
The starting line
It's like I'm expected to
Turn water to wine
Having to move mountains
No, I'm not "fine"
Should I be Christ?
Perfection down to my coffee
The blood running through me
Is in the wrong body
Fuck being perfect,
I want to be free
Little mistakes really don't
Have to be my enemy
Give it up,
Let it go
Sure the blood
May always flow
I'll try
And realize
I'm worth more
Than those invisible ties
Cut the roots
Around my feet
Binding me to my
Family tree
Raise my head,
To the sky
I won't hide from
My bloodline
As i look at my
Family photos, i realize
Just how much the
Expectation's in their eyes
No one has eyes that
Dead at twenty five
Unless you've been forced
Day and day to act fine
The frames' covered in
Twenty years of dust
Even the mailbox
Is covered in rust
Just goes to show time
Can't heal all types of wounds
Why do we lie? the
Family's half in the tomb
Fuck being perfect,
I just want to be free
Little mistakes really don't
Have to be my enemy
Give it up,
Let it go
Sure the blood
May always flow
I'll try
And realize
I'm worth more
Than those invisible ties
Cut the roots
Around my feet
Binding me to my
Family tree
Raise my head,
To the sky
I won't hide from
My bloodline
