[Verse]
Mama’s hands shook like leaves in the rain
Daddy’s eyes burned but he hid the pain
I thought I’d escape it but here it comes again
[Prechorus]
You don’t see it till it’s in your veins
You don’t feel it till it’s got a name
[Chorus]
It’s the family curse it’s a shadow in my blood
Try to run but it drags you through the mud
Oh the family curse yeah it’s screaming in my soul
You don’t know it’s there till it’s in control
[Verse 2]
Uncle Joe swore he could outdrink the moon
Auntie’s smile cracked like a glass balloon
I swore I’d be different but the mirror’s a tune
[Bridge]
Hands are shaking hearts are breaking
Truth is something I’m forsaking
The clock keeps ticking ticking ticking
Family ties they’re always sticking
[Chorus]
It’s the family curse it’s a shadow in my blood
Try to run but it drags you through the mud
Oh the family curse yeah it’s screaming in my soul
You don’t know it’s there till it’s in control
