Trauma Queen

Are we forever destined to be Another carbon copy Forever tainted by the faults of our fathers fathers father Can you believe that they were young once Can you still see it in their eyes The cold husk of the spark that died The moment you sparked to life But I don't wanna just Survive Another branch on the family tree Survive Another try at a prodigy Survive Another try at the life you didn't lead Survive Just to be another trauma queen Maybe it's the demons in our blood Or the monsters in our heads Or maybe there's something in the drugs that keeps us crawling back Beaten and bloodied and bagging for more Knocking on death's front door How are we ever gonna find our way back from the brink we started on But I don't wanna just Survive Another branch on the family tree Survive Another try at a prodigy Survive Another try at the life you didn't lead Survive Just to be another trauma queen Just another dead dream Just another mouth to feed Just another try at a prodigy Another shot at the life you didn't lead Just another bad seed Just another notch on the family tree Just Another branch in your tragic legacy The first heir to the trauma queen But I don't wanna just Survive Another branch on the family tree Survive Another try at a prodigy Survive Another try at the life you didn't lead Survive Just to be another trauma queen
