Blood Lines

(album: How It Feels To Be Lost - 2019)

What's it like to be all alone
All by yourself in a broken home
Try not to be like mom and dad
Realize you're just fucked like them
Are we bound to lose?
Maybe we just don't get to choose
Is it in our DNA?
Was I just born this way?

I am not the one
I'm just another bastard son
A bastard son
No matter what I do
You will never ever be like me
And I will never be like you

Why do I try to save everyone I meet?
Is it because they are just like me
Same tracks, wrong side of the street
Not typical in the way that we speak
When you always expect to lose
You don't give a fuck what they think of you
It's written in our DNA
Are we just born this way?

I am not the one
I'm just another bastard son
A bastard son
No matter what I do
You will never ever be like me
And I will never be like you

What have we become?
Why do we sacrifice the ones we love?
Our daughters, our sons!
No matter what I do
You will never ever be like me
And I will never be like you

You can't change what you were born into
Don't let it bury you
You can't change what you were born into
Don't let it, don't let it bury you
You can't change what you were born into
Don't let it bury you
You can't change what you were born into
Don't let it, don't let it bury you

I am not the one
I'm just another bastard son
A bastard son
No matter what I do
You will never ever be like me
And I will never be like you

What have we become?
Why do we sacrifice the ones we love?
Our daughters, our sons!
No matter what I do
You will never ever be like me
And I will never be like you
