Bloodline

Take that pain, pass it down like bottles on the wall
Mama said her dad's to blame, but that's his daddy's fault
Oh
There's no one left to call

You stay up countin' down the days 'til you make your escape
But you're afraid you can't outrun what's runnin' through your veins
Oh
You're carryin' the weight

In the dead of night, on that broken road
I won't let you walk alone

Oh, my brother
You don't have to follow in your bloodline
Oh, we got each other
And if you got tomorrow, then you've still got time

To break the chains that left you scarred
From where you came isn't who you are
Oh, my brother
You don't have to follow in your bloodline

Oh, I won't pretend that I know half the hell you've seen
But that don't mean that's somethin' that you're destined to repeat
Oh
You're stronger than you think

I know it has to end, but you don't know where to start
You can pack your bags, and I'll meet you where you are
Oh
I'll be waiting in the car

In the dead of night, on that broken road
I won't let you walk alone

Oh, my brother
You don't have to follow in your bloodline
Oh, we got each other
And if you got tomorrow, then you've still got time

To break the chains that left you scarred
From where you came isn't who you are
Oh, my brother (oh)
You don't have to follow in your bloodline

The storm keeps on ragin', but don't you forget
God's not done with you yet
When it feels like you're losin' the war in your head
Just know this isn't the end

Oh, my brother
You don't have to follow in your bloodline (in your bloodline)
Oh, we got each other
And if you got tomorrow, then you've still got time (you've still got time)

To break the chains that left you scarred
From where you came isn't who you are
Oh, my brother
You don't have to follow in your bloodline
