Flesh and Blood
Flesh and Blood
Dedicated to my brother Nick
I’m sick of the games you play
Being selfish in every way
So easy for you to point the blame
Never the one to take the shame
This is my flesh and blood
And I’m gonna save him from your flood
I’ll carry him through the end
If that’s what it takes
To watch his broken heart mend
Through the years
My brother had to bottle up the tears
Rejected because he was different from the rest
Set up to fail every single test
This is my flesh and blood
And I’m gonna save him from your flood
I’ll carry him through the end
If that’s what it takes
To watch his broken heart mend
You, You hypocrite!
You’re just a fake
I’m gonna laugh when this is thrown back in your face
I dare you to give him your best shot
Because I’m gonna be there to give you all that I got
Everyone is shoving him to curb
So I’m gonna give you what you deserve
This is my flesh and blood
And I’m gonna save him from your flood
I’ll carry him through the end
If that’s what it takes
To watch his broken heart mend
