I need to break the spell of heredity

To cleanse my life the curse I'm blood bound to thee

What I will and wont take anymore

I'm doin all i can to hold it in and down

To use and to abuse upon another excuse

Neglect indifference amidst the chaos

The shame and the pain and the beatings I don't feel numb to the core

Your dull fingers up my spine dissonance and manipulation

You remember the hate mistakes? Well i do, the bondage and the bone

Thing you want most denied
I'll end this prophecy of woe

The thing raised dead amidst the frayed ends
Of sanity i wont become the same monster

I don't want to feel it anymore
Close and lock the goddamn door
Shut in shielded from your storm
Outside in I'm all alone

Saw what will be what wont be again
Not a chip off your block wont be your descendant
A successor stained by the violence
Where the madness reigned, pandemonium

Saw what could be what wont live again
With every tick of the tock i curse the resemblance
Dysfunction buried in silence
All the never agains owned with vengeance

Pain inside I leave behind the lessons of my life I got to break free
Break on through the mold you made its everything i gave
incessantly I fight the war inside my head its all ill ever bleed
I feel it comin on again i count the ways I'm not your progeny

A moment to the memory where the failures led to insanity
and i mark off the days that I put between
I count the ways I will never be you
