Your Blood Awaits You

I met you down by the water We talked about the reasons why You haven't reached out to your daughter It's eating you alive You think about her every hour And most of the time, you cry Wonder if she's tryna stay sober Tears seem to never dry You got a note last week Saying she wants to change her life Wants to make amends, no alibi defense, consider We didn't choose this life She's all alone now I know, she ripped your heart out Since the final call, you've been numb But don't you think it is time? Take your family home, allow Because your blood awaits you Deep inside, you want to be her mom, oh Drugs will never work, she discovered Lost and such misery finds Smack and pills became her lover All the different minds She always took after her father A drunk, weak suffering kind He's no longer with us, erasure That time you were blind You got a note last week Saying she wants to change her life Wants to make amends, no alibi defense, consider We didn't choose this life She's all alone now I know, she ripped your heart out Since the final call, you've been numb But don't you think it is time? Take your family home, allow Because your blood awaits you Deep inside, you want to be her mom (For your concern, I thank you, mother) (Forget me, I'm not here) You got a note last week Saying she wants to change her life Wants to make amends, no alibi defense, consider I know it's my turn to speak And I'm sorry for the lies Please tear down your pretense, I want to be your friend, not a trigger (Forever is a long, long time) We didn't choose this life She's all alone now I know, she ripped your heart out Since the final call, you've been numb But don't you think it is time? Take your family home, allow Because your blood awaits you Deep inside, you want to be her mom We didn't choose this life She's all alone now I know, she ripped your heart out Since the final call, you've been numb But don't you think it is time? Take your family home, allow Because your blood awaits you Deep inside, you want to be her mom Her mom
