Family Tradition

I tried to be the one that everybody loved Where has that gotten me? I tear myself to shreds to prove that I'm someone That I could never be Now these unsightly marks define me So help me, please someone come quick I think I am losing it Forgive me, I inherited this From a stranger I'll never miss I'm sick. My father taught me first hand how to be set free Give up and runaway I wish I could drain out his half of blood in me But I'd still have his face I curse reflections everyday So help me, please someone come quick I think I am losing it Forgive me, I inherited this From a stranger I'll never miss I'm sick. Here is my own family tradition Following footsteps into addiction So is there a way that I can find peace While still numbing my pain Is this my fate? Cause your only son still cant seem to find his way So help me, please someone come quick I think I am losing it Forgive me, I inherited this From a stranger I'll never miss I'm sick. So father where the hell are you now? I think that you would be proud Your son who so unluckily Fell right next to the tree I hope you're proud of me, I hope you're proud.
