Family Tradition Senses Fail

[Verse 1]
I try to be the one that everybody loves
Where has that gotten me?
I tear myself to shreds to prove that I'm someone
That I could never be
Now, these unsightly marks define me

[Chorus]
So, help me
Please, someone, come quick
I think I am losing it
Forgive me, I inherited this
From a stranger I'll never miss
I'm sick

[Verse 2]
My father taught me first-hand how to be set free:
Give up and run away!
I wish I could drain out his half of blood in me
But, I'd still have his face
I curse reflections every day

[Chorus]
So, help me
Please, someone, come quick
I think I am losing it
Forgive me, I inherited this
From a stranger I'll never miss
