Bloodlines Burn

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
How could someone you once loved just stab you, tell lies to protect their name
How could they rip your whole world out, and never feel the shame
How can they just not care at all, while you’re drowning in the pain
How can they be so cruel and cold, like your love was all in vain
(Pre-Chorus)
Going behind your back like it meant nothing
Making excuses while your heart keeps breaking
Don’t they see the damage they’re creating
Or are they blind to the scars they’re engraving
(Chorus)
Don’t they care… don’t they see
What they’ve done inside of me
The ones I loved, the ones I trusted
Left my whole world torn and rusted
It’s blood that cut me to the bone
Left me shattered, left alone
And I don’t know who I am anymore
Since my bloodlines burned me to the core
(Verse 2)
Those I loved have left my heart in pieces I can’t repair
Destroyed my life without a glance, like I was never there
And the worst part in all of this, it runs inside my veins
The ones who should have held me close
Are the ones who caused this pain
(Pre-Chorus)
What do you do when your home’s the damage
When your roots are where the pain is planted
Do you run or stand and face it
Or just learn to live half-handed
(Chorus)
Don’t they care… don’t they see
What they’ve done inside of me
The ones I loved, the ones I trusted
Left my whole world torn and rusted
It’s blood that cut me to the bone
Left me shattered, left alone
And I don’t know who I am anymore
Since my bloodlines burned me to the core
(Bridge)
Do I shut them out…
Do I forgive…
Do I keep them close
Or learn to live without them in my soul
The loss of ones who aren’t even gone
Feels like a war that just goes on and on
How do you grieve someone still alive
How do you heal and still survive
(Breakdown / Soft)
How could they betray me…
How could they break me…
How could they take me…
And leave nothing behind
(Final Chorus)
Do they care… will they see
What they took away from me
The love I gave, the life I built
Now buried underneath their guilt
But I’ll rise up from the unknown
Even if I stand alone
Yeah I’ll find who I am once more
From the ashes of what they tore
(Outro)
Blood may break you…
But it don’t define you…
You can walk away…
And still survive too
