Lyrics
[Intro – soft, haunting piano melody, distant rain]
Rain taps on the window pane
Silence drowns the last of my name
[Verse 1 – sparse 808 kick, muted piano]
I grew up thinking blood was the bond that wouldn’t break
Turns out they sold my mom out for a small mistake
Locked her up with lies they wove with their own hands
Left me here to watch our whole world crumble and stand
[Pre-Chorus – building bass, tense synth hum]
Every smile was a knife hidden behind their teeth
Every promise just a chain to keep me underneath
I thought family was safe, I thought they’d always fight for me
Now I know the truth, and it’s colder than the sea
[Chorus – full bassline, layered vocal harmonies, raw emotion]
Broken bloodline, trust turned to dust
They threw my own mother to the wolves, left me to rust
No more secrets, no more lies I’ll believe
This family’s a cage, and I’m finally free
[Verse 2 – echoing piano, subtle snare roll]
I found the letters hidden in the back of their drawer
Proof they plotted every step, left her to take the fall
Said she was the problem, said she brought it all on herself
But I see the greed in their eyes, I know who’s to blame myself
[Pre-Chorus 2 – intensified synth, heavier bass]
They called her a criminal, but they’re the ones with sin
They stole her freedom, they stole the life we could’ve been
I used to beg for their love, I used to beg for their grace
Now I spit on their name, I erase them from my space
[Chorus 2 – distorted bass, powerful vocal delivery]
Broken bloodline, trust turned to ash
They left her in a cell while they laughed and cashed
No more tears, no more pain I’ll endure
This family’s a curse, and I’m closing the door
[Bridge – stripped back piano, vulnerable vocals]
I’ll visit her every week, I’ll fight to bring her home
I’ll build a new life where their poison can’t roam
No more relying on the ones who stabbed me in the back
I’ll rise alone, I’ll take back what they lack
[Solo – weeping cello melody, slow build]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Chorus 3 – full instrumental, explosive vocals]
Broken bloodline, but I’m still standing tall
I’ll break her chains, I’ll answer her call
No more fear, no more doubt in my mind
I’ll leave this family behind, I’ll find my own kind
[Outro – fading piano, soft rain]
Rain stops, the sun starts to rise
I’ll keep fighting, I’ll keep my mother’s light
