[Intro] [Sparse guitar. Almost spoken rather than sung.] I've read about worse families At least they knew what they were brief instrumental breath Don't call this blood a family That's too kind a word I've seen monsters at a dinner table I'd rather pull up a chair [Then the riff comes in.] [Verse One] I gave until the tank ran empty Then I gave what wasn't there Every time you needed something I was expected to repair You took the miles, you took the hours Took whatever I could spare Then came knocking when you wanted Like you knew I'd still be there Well, the tank is fucking empty And the well has finally dried There's no piece of me remaining That I'm willing to provide [Chorus] Don't call this blood a family Don't tell me blood runs deep You drained the tank and scraped the bottom Then came back wanting me There's nothing left I'm giving you No debt that's mine to pay You took everything I offered Now I'm taking me away [Verse 2] I kept waiting for the good part For a reason I should stay But every road that led me to you Only took something away I called history a connection Called obligation love Kept defending what was empty Just because we shared the blood Now the silence feels much lighter Than the weight I used to drag Funny how I lost a family And didn't lose a fucking thing [Chorus] Don't call this blood a family Don't tell me blood runs deep You drained the tank and scraped the bottom Then came back wanting me There's nothing here that belongs to you No debt that's mine to pay You took everything I offered Now I'm taking me away [Breakdown] You told me I didn't have a choice. [everything stops] You were wrong. [riff crashes back] I don't fucking owe you anything. [Final Chorus] Don't call this blood a family Don't tell me blood runs deep You drained the tank and scraped the bottom Then came back wanting me There's nothing here that belongs to you No debt that's mine to pay You took everything I offered Now I'm taking me away [Outro] The tank is empty. The well is dry. What's left is mine. Goodbye.
