[Intro]
(Spoken)
We were never saints…
Just broken kids trying to survive.
[Scream Verse 1]
Dragged through the wreckage of a dead-end home
Cold eyes, cold hands, nowhere left to go
Every night felt like a war in my head
But you pulled me from the edge instead
You said:
“We don’t need their love to breathe”
So we built our hearts from the debris
[Pre-Chorus]
We’re the lost souls
The outcasts
The ones they never understood
But when the world left us bleeding
You were the blood beneath my wounds
[Chorus]
This is the family that we chose
Not by blood but by the scars we hold
Through every fire, every broken road
You gave me a place to call home
If heaven won’t take us
Then hell can wait
We’ll stand together at the gates
Cause I would die for the hearts that saved me
The family that I chose
[Verse 2]
No silver spoons
No perfect lives
Just nicotine prayers and sleepless nights
We wore our pain like battle scars
Screaming our lungs out beneath the stars
You found me choking on my own regrets
And taught me how to forgive myself
[Pre-Chorus]
We’re the black sheep
The misfits
The kids they tried to bury deep
But every wound became a reason
To stand on our own feet
[Chorus]
This is the family that we chose
Not by blood but by the scars we hold
Through every fire, every broken road
You gave me a place to call home
If heaven won’t take us
Then hell can wait
We’ll stand together at the gates
Cause I would die for the hearts that saved me
The family that I chose
[Bridge]
(Clean vocals)
And if the world burns down tonight
I know I won’t face the flames alone
(Screamed layered vocals)
ALONE!
WE BUILT THIS FROM THE PAIN THEY LEFT US!
ALONE!
WE TURNED OUR WOUNDS INTO SOMETHING ENDLESS!
(Clean vocals)
You were the light in the static
The heartbeat in the panic
[Breakdown]
So raise your hands for the broken ones
The daughters and sons of abandonment
We are more than the names they gave us
More than the hate that shaped us
(Slam)
THIS IS OUR HOME!
THIS IS OUR HOPE!
WE ARE THE BLOOD WE CHOSE!
[Final Chorus]
This is the family that we chose
Not by blood but by the scars we hold
And when the lights all fade to black
I know you’ll still have my back
If heaven won’t take us
Then hell can wait
We’ll stand together at the gates
Cause I would die for the hearts that saved me
The family that I chose
[Outro]
(Soft clean vocals)
We were never alone…
We just had to find each other
