Dinner table silence, eternal teenage violence
Staring in my father's stress-filled eyes
His back was probably hurting from life's financial burden
Same type of pressure I've internalized
As time it flies and the fire dies like candles on a cave
College debt and cigarettes and all our shared mistakes
It's a vicious cycle that nobody can escape
Blood related and trying to relate
She lived the life they taught her
Had a son, she had a daughter
A martyr for children's happiness
In a picture of her past life
Her future looking so bright
Smiling in her Easter Sunday dress
Summertime and light blue eyes
And love that likely fades
Wedding dress, white picket fence
Pressure to procreate
It's a vicious cycle that nobody can escape


Blood related and trying to relate
In the midst of midlife crisis
Left us hanging कaterina

To your own devices
Staring at your half full glass of wine
Cause you gave them the cold shoulder
But I bet before it's over
You're gonna wish that you had more time
Cause time it flies and fire dies
And people make mistakes
Photographs and epitaphs and flowers on the grave
It's a vicious cycle, it's a never ending fate
Blood related and trying to relate
Blood related and trying to relate
Blood related and trying to relate

Blood related and trying to relate
