"Your Blood Awaits You" lyrics
I met you down by the water
We talked about the reasons why
You haven't reached out to your daughter
It's eating you alive
You think about her every hour
And most of the time you cry
Wonder if she's trying to stay sober
Tears seem to never dry
You got a note last week
Saying she wants to change her life
Wants to make amends
No alibi defense, consider
We didn't choose this life
She's all alone now
I know, she ripped your heart out
Since the final call you've been numb
But don't you think it is time?
Take your family home
Allow, because your blood awaits you
Deep inside you want to be her mum
Drugs will never work, she discovered
Lost and such misery finds
Smack and pills became her lover
All the different minds
She always took after her father
A drunk, weak suffering kind
He's no longer with us, erasure
That time you were blind
You got a note last week
Saying she wants to change her life
Wants to make amends
No alibi defense, consider
We didn't choose this life
She's all alone now
I know, she ripped your heart out
Since the final call you've been numb
But don't you think it is time?
Take your family home
Allow, because your blood awaits you
Deep inside you want to be her mum
For your concern I thank you mother
Forget me, I'm not here
You got a note last week
Saying she wants to change her life
Wants to make amends
No alibi defense, consider
I know it's my turn to speak
And I am sorry for the lies
Please tear down your pretense
I want to be your friend, not a trigger
Forever is a long time
We didn't choose this life
She's all alone now
I know, she ripped your heart out
Since the final call you've been numb
But don't you think it is time?
Take your family home
Allow, because your blood awaits you
Deep inside you want to be her mum
We didn't choose this life
She's all alone now
I know, she ripped your heart out
Since the final call you've been numb
But don't you think it is time?
Take your family home
Allow, because your blood awaits you
Deep inside you want to be her mum
We talked about the reasons why
You haven't reached out to your daughter
It's eating you alive
You think about her every hour
And most of the time you cry
Wonder if she's trying to stay sober
Tears seem to never dry
You got a note last week
Saying she wants to change her life
Wants to make amends
No alibi defense, consider
We didn't choose this life
She's all alone now
I know, she ripped your heart out
Since the final call you've been numb
But don't you think it is time?
Take your family home
Allow, because your blood awaits you
Deep inside you want to be her mum
Drugs will never work, she discovered
Lost and such misery finds
Smack and pills became her lover
All the different minds
She always took after her father
A drunk, weak suffering kind
He's no longer with us, erasure
That time you were blind
You got a note last week
Saying she wants to change her life
Wants to make amends
No alibi defense, consider
We didn't choose this life
She's all alone now
I know, she ripped your heart out
Since the final call you've been numb
But don't you think it is time?
Take your family home
Allow, because your blood awaits you
Deep inside you want to be her mum
For your concern I thank you mother
Forget me, I'm not here
You got a note last week
Saying she wants to change her life
Wants to make amends
No alibi defense, consider
I know it's my turn to speak
And I am sorry for the lies
Please tear down your pretense
I want to be your friend, not a trigger
Forever is a long time
We didn't choose this life
She's all alone now
I know, she ripped your heart out
Since the final call you've been numb
But don't you think it is time?
Take your family home
Allow, because your blood awaits you
Deep inside you want to be her mum
We didn't choose this life
She's all alone now
I know, she ripped your heart out
Since the final call you've been numb
But don't you think it is time?
Take your family home
Allow, because your blood awaits you
Deep inside you want to be her mum
