[Intro]
Kitchen light hums
Plates still warm
Voices held back
Eyes like storms
[Verse 1]
Phone on the counter
Lawyer’s name on the screen
Calendar crowded
Red circles on every week
You say
"We can’t keep bleeding"
I say
"We can’t just break"
Kids at the doorway listening
To everything we don’t say
[Chorus]
We are the bloodline barricade
Two shaking hands against the wave
If this house falls
We fall with it
If this love breaks
We rebuild it
We are the bloodline barricade
Scratched-up hearts but we still stay
If this world tears at the seams
We hold fast
We hold the beams
[Verse 2]
Late shift exhaustion
You drop keys on the floor
Bills on the table
Stacked higher than before
I slam the bedroom doorframe
You slam your silence down
But in the dark the smallest whisper:
"Don’t let us drown"
[Chorus]
[Bridge – Screamo Verse]
[harsh screams over blast beats]
You think I don’t feel it?!
Every crack in these walls!
Every night that I’m grinding my teeth
Just to answer their calls!
I am not your enemy
I’m the bruise that chose to heal
I am not your rival
I’m the ring around your shield!
[drums go even faster]
Rip my name out of your anger!
Carve it back into your chest!
We are stitched in the same scar!
We are vows that never rest!
[Chorus]
