Family Hatred
Version 1
Blood is thicker than water
Hate is thicker than blood
You cut me down with your insults
Push my face in the mud.
You shout the unfriendly torments
I walk away closing my eyes
I climb the long dragging staircase
I sit in my room and cry.
I get enough of this shit at school
I don’t need it at home with you
This arguing is going to kill me
And I’m taking you down with me too.
Version 2
Blood is thicker than water
Hate is thicker than blood
You make my tears flow
And I’ll drown in the flood
Your insults cut me down
Don’t I get enough at school?
I’ll never tell you what I do,
I’ve made that a rule
Just know what it involves:
My leg and a knife
But I wouldn’t need to do it
If you’d give me my life back.
