If only blood dried the color of skin
Would it camouflage all the lies within?
If you could only feel the pain I feel every day
But to you that pain wasn't real anyway
Your words have tainted my bloodstream
Is this what family's supposed to be?
Born in a den of wolves and snakes waiting on your every mistake
All my life was a feeling of shame
That I never deserved my name
And I'll carry this burden to my grave
Lost in the shadow you left for me
Blood doesn't mean shit
To them I don't exist
A mistake, a regret, I'll never fit in
No love lost in the end
Blood doesn't mean shit
These wounds are open ended
You never cared don't try to pretend
Where were you when I needed you most?
Where were you when I lost all hope?
Maybe now you'll understand the state of mind your actions put me in
Blood doesn't mean shit
To them I don't exist
A mistake, a regret, I'll never fit in
No love lost in the end
Blood doesn't mean shit
These wounds are open ended
You never cared don't try to pretend
So you keep your name
And I'll keep mine
I hope you read this song and think about every line
Empty this blood that binds
I refuse to live this lie
I'm done wasting my precious time
I'm moving on with my life
I never asked for your blood in my veins
I never wanted to be one of you anyway
I never asked for your blood in my veins
Nothing will ever change
We are not the same
