Lyrics Family Ties - Logose

Here I go making my friends when I'm manic
And losing them once I'm depressed

Abandoned my hope for a life living lavish
'cause my table shattered the minute I left

Fragments to others, but all that I have
Burn it like rubber, brakes versus gas
Fire in my soul Imma forge up the glass into
Weapons and sculptures that compliment trash

Walking cadaver
I'm walking the gallows
And gallop through shadows of battles
That conquered the cattle of innocence

Gone in a minute
I'm feeling like winning
The kin of the wicked got nothing they turning to stone
By the villains that sit in their throne
Ghost now begone

A tale of two cities with modernized font
Buried the past with the work that we're on
They murdered our odds while they spoke of our flaws
My father and mother suffered the cause
Coursed by the greed of a law
Suffering poverty, lowest degree
Treated like nuisance
I can't believe
He had to beg
Family just to get something to eat

Rice and the beans, man, they kept him alive
Savored the scraps of the meat he would hide
This childhood gave him a mission to strive
'Cause he would be damned if his children were tried
To suffer the same
Playin' a game where we start out with nothing
Monopoly taught us that money will govern
Whether you suffered or controlled em like puppets

And rolling the dice with a virgo, you play at 100
'cause they like the green
Yeah, they like the gold
Strategizing like they've had it before
This was a fact that our mother resisted to harness
She wanted her men to be galant and honest
Not like her father who got up and vanished
Leaving his children all scared and abandoned
Fend for themselves 'cause their mother had died
A life filled with trauma that most
Would never survive
To make it all worse
They called her a whore of the town
Not knowing her baby dad lied

He had a family of his own and now
He is a victim 'cause he is
Missing out on the life of my sister
A beautiful life

This is the family that raised me
Forgive me if i'm not always roses and daisies
The trauma been passed down through babies
And it's getting so hard just to keep it inside
