Family Tradition - Senses Fail

I try to be the one that everybody loves

Where has that gotten me

I tear myself to shreds to prove that I'm someone

That I could never be

And 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 firsthand how to be set free

Give up and run away

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

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

Because your only son still can't 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

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
