family is the past

Verse) Yo, shadows creeping, family ties like a noose, Every memory’s a battle, every love is the truth, We’re forged in the fire, scars run deep, In the silence of the night, hear the secrets we keep. Mom’s tears in the kitchen, dad’s rage in the hall, Siblings fight like lions, but we rise when we fall, Blood thicker than water, but the water runs cold, Trust is a gamble, and the stakes are sold. Whispers in the dark, ghosts of the past, Haunted by the choices, shadows that cast, Built a fortress of pain, but it’s hard to defend, In the game of survival, will the cycle ever end? Caged in our fears, but we’re plotting escape, Got the heart of a lion, but the soul of a wraith, Family ties are chains, but they’re also a shield, In this darkened battlefield, it’s love that’s revealed.
