Ohhh... yeahhh...

(Pain runs deep, deep, deep...)

Mmmmm...

Looking through these old photographs

Each smile holds something back

Behind those eyes, a weight so strong

Things we never spoke about for too long

Every morning I see that face

In the mirror, I trace the same lines

That marked your spirit, scarred your grace

Now I feel them becoming mine

The pain flows through my bloodline

Like rivers cutting stone

Can't wash away what's inside

These scars we've always known

(Always known, always shown)

The pain flows through my bloodline

Fuck the silence that kept us bound in chains of our own making

Every dinner table tension, every goddamn morning breaking

Inherited the anger, passed down like precious heirlooms

Making fists when I should reach out, building walls inside these rooms

Daddy's rage became my armor, Mama's tears my battle cry

Every generation thinking they could break it if they try

But this shit goes deeper than the surface, roots beneath the soil

Blood memory running through our veins like burning oil

Twenty years of therapy couldn't scratch the fucking surface

Behind closed doors the monster grows, got me feeling worthless

But I refuse to let this poison flow into tomorrow

Breaking cycles ain't pretty, yeah this healing shit brings sorrow

Grandma's eyes held the same pain, now I see it clear as day

All these patterns, all these habits, gotta find another way

Fuck these chains that bind our spirits, time to break free from this curse

Each generation adds new layers, making everything much worse

But I'm standing at the crossroads, choosing which path to take

Either die with all these demons or find the strength to break

Ohhh, I'm choosing life... (choosing life)

Breaking free tonight... (breaking free)

These chains won't hold... (won't hold)

My spirit anymore...

(Won't let the past define meeeee...)

The pain flows through my bloodline

Like rivers cutting stone

Can't wash away what's inside

These scars we've always known

(Always known, always shown)

The pain flows through my bloodline

(Breaking free...)

(Choose a different way...)
