Bad Omen Bloodline

[Verse 1]
Hoodie up in the daylight
Can’t remember the last time I felt right
Text on my phone
I don’t reply
Scroll till my eyes blur
Still dry
Your old chair in the corner
Jacket on the back like you’ll walk in
I keep hearing your footsteps
Then it’s just the fridge humming again
[Chorus]
They say I got that bad omen bloodline
Shadow on my shoulder at all times
You left and the dark moved in
Sleeping in your T-shirt like a second skin
If pain is a family name I’m signed
Carved it on my heart in a straight line
I’m breaking but I’m still your kid
Living with this bad omen bloodline (oh)
Learning how to breathe with it
[Verse 2]
I talk to your photo
Ask you what to do
But it just stares
Everyone says “time heals”
Time just pulls out extra chairs
Empty seat at the table
Your laugh living rent free in my head
Some days I almost call you
Just to say I’m tired of this lead
[Chorus]
They say I got that bad omen bloodline
Shadow on my shoulder at all times
You left and the dark moved in
Sleeping in your T-shirt like a second skin
If pain is a family name I’m signed
Carved it on my heart in a straight line
I’m breaking but I’m still your kid
Living with this bad omen bloodline (yeah)
Trying not to drown in it
[Bridge]
But if I’m your echo
There’s love in my bones too (oh)
If I made it this far
That’s something I learned from you
[Chorus]
I carry this bad omen bloodline
Shadow on my shoulder at all times
You left but I’m still here
Talking to the silence
You’re still near
If pain is a family name I’m signed
But I’m drawing my own first line
I’m breaking and I’m still your kid
Living with this bad omen bloodline
Learning how to stay
Learning how to live with it

Moody minor-key trap ballad over a pulsing sub-bass bed; sparse piano stabs and distant vocal chops. Verses confessional and close-mic, hook lifts with layered male vocals and a heavy, swung drum groove that opens the chest. Subtle distorted guitar doubles the bass in the chorus for grit; final chorus strips to just voice and low end, letting the pain linger.
