[Verse 1] They say - "Family's all you got." Like that line ain't been sold In every cheap plot But what if the blood Don't run warm? What if the house Don't feel like form? What if "we're family" Only gets said When they want my time Or I'm ahead? [Pre-Chorus] What if the hugs Feel like handcuffs? What if the love only shows up When they need stuff? [Chorus] Blood's just water with guilt in disguise Tied by name, but truth cuts ties You don't get me just 'cause we share a name You don't own me - we don't play the same "We're family"? No thanks, I'm good. You don't show up - just knock on wood. [Verse 2] Where were you When I bled slow? Where were the calls When I broke low? But I get a "Hey!" When you need a ride Or your mask slips And you need to hide It's funny how "Unconditional" fades When I stop playing Your emotional maid [Chorus] Blood's just water with shame on top A guilt parade that never stops "We're family"? That's just a script Played by ghosts with selfish lips No thanks - I've built my crew From the real ones, not just you. [Instrumental] [Bridge] You say "forever" But you mean "for now" You say "you're mine" But don't ask how You say "we care" But never act You say "we're blood" Like that's a fact [Final Chorus] Blood's just water 'til it stains I won't drink from guilt again Family's not who claims my name It's who stays when there's no gain I'm not your blood. I'm not your bank. You want something? Call your god. Not Frank. [Outro] No thanks. No chains. No shame. Just flame.
