In the Blood

How much of my mother

Has my mother left in me?

How much of my love

Will be insane to some degree?

And what about this feeling

That I'm never good enough?

Will it wash out in the water

Or is it always in the blood?

How much of my father

Am I destined to become?

Will I dim the lights inside me

Just to satisfy someone?

Will I let this woman kill me

Or do away with jealous love?

Will it wash out in the water

Or is it always in the blood?

I can feel the love I want

I can feel the love I need

But it's never gonna come the way I am

Could I change it if I wanted

Can I rise above the flood?

Will it wash out in the water

Or is it always in the blood?

How much like my brothers

Do my brothers wanna be?

Does a broken home

Become another broken family?

Or will we be there for each other

Like nobody ever could?

Will it wash out in the water

Or is it always in the blood?

I can feel the love I want

I can feel the love I need

But it's never gonna come the way I am

Could I change it if I wanted

Can I rise above the flood?

Will it wash out in the water

Or is it always in the blood?

I can feel the love I want

I can feel the love I need

But it's never gonna come the way I am

Could I change it if I wanted

Can I rise above the flood?

Will it wash out in the water

Or is it always in the blood?
