Senses Fail - Family Tradition

Band: Senses Fail Album: Life is Not a Waiting Room I try to be the one that everybody loves. Where has that gotten me? I tear myself to shreds to prove the 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 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. 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? So father where the hell are you now? I think that you would be proud. Of you son who so unluckily fell right next to the tree. I hope you're proud of me.
