Blood Runs Thicker Than Water

Blood Runs Thicker Than Water

Verse 1

Picture frames upon the wall,

Perfect smiles that hide it all.

Every secret, every lie,

Buried underneath the ties.

Silver spoons and dinner plates,

Polite hellos concealing hate.

Everybody plays a part,

With their poker faces and hollow hearts.

Pre-Chorus

They tell me family never bends,

That blood is thicker till the end.

But what if all the rules they made

Are just another masquerade?

Chorus

Blood runs thicker than water,

Blood runs thicker than water.

But they both taste the same,

When you close your eyes.

Don't worry about the game,

Just look twords the sky...

Verse 2

Count the cards and watch them fall,

Who's the winner after all?

Every pawn believes they're free,

Till they learn the strategy.

Keep your secrets, lock the door,

Tell yourself you need no more.

Wear the smile they taught you well,

Make it look like heaven, live in hell.

Pre-Chorus

They tell me family never bends,

That blood is thicker till the end.

But what if all the rules they made

Are just another masquerade?

Chorus

Blood runs thicker than water,

Blood runs thicker than water.

But they both taste the same,

When you close your eyes.

Don't worry about the game,

Just look twords the sky...

Bridge

Up above, the stars don't care,

Who was cruel or who played fair.

The moon won't ask you to explain,

It shines on everyone the same.

So let them argue, let them fight,

Let them claim that wrong is right.

When the final curtain falls,

Will there be a game at all?

Breakdown

Blood runs thicker...

Water runs cold...

Stories are written,

And stories are told.

Who holds the cards?

Who holds the key?

Who's really playing?

Who's really free?

Final Chorus

Blood runs thicker than water,

Blood runs thicker than water.

But they both taste the same,

When you close your eyes.

Don't worry about the game,

Just look twords the sky...

Outro

Just look towards the sky...

Don't ask the reason why...

Blood runs thicker than water...

And the stars won't take your side.
