lyrics

Read between the lines, it's a simple sign.
Read between the lines, it's a simple sign.

Unbound, not the same kind.
No frown, read between the lines.
You’re down, it’s about time.
No loss, no grief, no fucking time for peace of mind.

Unbound, not the same kind.
No frown, read between the lines.
You’re down, it’s about time.
No loss, no grief, no peace of mind.

I don't remember much about being a kid.
That might be self-protection, repression or deliverance.
Dug in a shell for years, unaware of my strength.
You gave a shit, cause you were drunk or not present.

Your grandson’s almost 16 now.
You’ve never seen him, you never will.
Won’t let you.
Read between the lines, it's a simple sign.
Read between the lines, it's a simple sign.

It' a simple ...!
Read between the lines

BLOODWATER. BLOODWATER.
There’s no bond, i don’t even bother.
BLOODWATER. BLOODWATER.
I’ll spit upon your grave once you’re done.

Hey father, it’s my payoff.
Long overdue, here’s your layoff.
I don’t call you fam’ly no more, i call you a shame.
So pissed that we share the same name, motherfucker.

I never wanted to be like you
and that’s why i turned my inner ocean blue, oh.
How can someone be as stuck as you?
I’m ashamed,
Oh I’m ashamed that i descend from you, oh.

Did you even realize that mom is dead?
Mom is dead, fuck cancer.
And that the grave of your brother, my godfather,
gave way for the next?
No call, no signs of condolence,
not a candle, a card or a single tear, i mean.
It’s proof enough that my decision was right cause blood ain’t thicker than water right here, ha.

Dear father, here’s my payoff.
Long overdue, here’s your layoff.
I don’t call you fam’ly,
I call you a shame,
so pissed that we share the same name, motherfucker.

See my signs.
Read between the lines.

Unbound, not the same kind.
Bloodwater.
No frown, read between the lines.
Fuck you father.
You’re down, it’s about time.
Bloodwater.
There’s no bond, i don’t even bother.

Unbound, not the same kind.
Bloodwater.
No frown, read between the lines.
Fuck you father.
You’re down, it’s about time.
I’ll spit upon your grave once you’re done.

Not enough to carry the same name.
Threw us out that winter my son came.
Born to shine and take away our pain.
That was the time I overcame.

Sold the house half of which my mine.
Some hard way for me,
Some hard way for me to find
that my father and I are not of the same kind.
