Senses Fail - Family Tradition lyrics

I try to be the one that everybody loves
Where has that gotten me?
I tear myself to shreds to
Prove that 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 first hand
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 every day

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

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?
'Cause your only son still can't
Seem to find a way

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

So father, where the hell are you now?
I think that you would be proud
Your son, who so unluckily
Fell right next to the tree

I hope you're proud of me!
I hope you're proud!
