Blood On My Family Tree

[Intro] [ominous choir, low vinyl hiss, distant metallic hits] [Verse 1] I’m the blacked-out basement You the cracked foundation Got a mask-shaped face And a glass vibration I’m a bad vibration In your last location Turn a dad-damn prayer To a damn cremation Every fake friend grinnin’, that’s a landmine laugh You a backseat bitch in a phantom cab When the axe swing, split ’em like a fraction class I got blood in my pen, make the caption splash I’m the noose in the newsfeed, loop in your head I’m the tooth in the soup that your mama fed I’m the bruise on the truth that your father spread I’m the “soon” that they use till you wound up dead They said, “Chill, you dramatic,” that’s a padded cage I’m a match in a mattress, I’m a savage blaze Turn a happy home pic to a shattered frame Turn a family name-brand to an acid stain [Chorus] Blood on my family tree Every leaf say “hang from me” Fake love, that’s a gang to me All smiles, all fangs, you see Cut deep where the scars don’t show Dark thoughts where the garden grow If I leave, they’ll act like they ain’t know If I bleed, they’ll ask why the pain glow [Verse 2] I’m the pill in the Bible on the nightstand, bitch You the guilt in the grin when the knife-hand twitch I’m the slip of the tongue, make your lifespan glitch Turn a “we got you” chant to a die-fast wish I’m the voice in the voicemail you ain’t play back I’m the boy in the void where the praise lack I’m the coin in the slot where the faith crack Every “how you been?” feelin’ straight fake, act I’m the rope in the closet where your coats hang neat I’m the note folded perfect where the quotes stay neat I’m the ghost in the photo that you cropped eight feet From the crowd ’cause you proud that I broke, ain’t sweet You the cousin with a cup when I cut my wrists You the buzz in the room when the love gone limp I’m the drug in the hug when the hug feel stiff I’m the rug that you pull when my lungs can’t lift [Chorus] Blood on my family tree Every leaf say “hang from me” Fake love, that’s a gang to me All smiles, all fangs, you see Cut deep where the scars don’t show Dark thoughts where the garden grow If I leave, they’ll act like they ain’t know If I bleed, they’ll ask why the pain glow [Bridge] I’m the black sheep, backseat, bad seed, bastard Laugh last, crack teeth, gas-leak, hazard Dead phone, red tone, headstone, caption “This so tragic” after they trashed him [Chorus] Blood on my family tree Every leaf say “hang from me” Fake love, that’s a gang to me All smiles, all fangs, you see Cut deep where the scars don’t show Dark thoughts where the garden grow If I leave, they’ll act like they ain’t know If I bleed, they’ll ask why the pain glow
