lyrics

Dear mother, things are changing.
Are you beginning to lose hope?
Approaching for so long, how will we stay afloat?
I've been holding on to my breath,
But I'm starting to cave in.
And you're starting to realize,
That we're sick, that we're broken.
We both act tough, but were so soft spoken.
You thought we were stronger than you.
I hope you know I could never, I could never blame you.

But all my life have I been taught to run away?
To block out the pain.

We don't have to fade away.
Block out the pain.

With anything, with everything.
With all the pills you were swallowing.
The endless times you'd drive away,
Just hoping you'd forget the pain.
But the same blood runs through my veins.
But the same blood runs through my veins.

But the same blood runs through my veins.
And now I know, we don't have to fade away.
