Thin Blood

 They say that blood is thicker than water
I don't believe in that shit when all you've been doing is treating me like a stranger
I'm ashamed of being your daughter
Especially when you go comparing me to your nieces
That broke my confidence into pieces

You try punishing me by giving me the silent treatment
You are mad because you've become everything you resent
You are mad because I'm someone you can no longer control
You'll never be able to crush my soul

I don't know how my mother puts up with your shit
Constantly throwing a fit when you don't get your way
Every time you put me down, you're describing yourself
I'm no longer the doll you've created and displayed on your shelf

I refuse to call you dad
When I do find a man that loves me for who I am, I hope you stay mad
I forgot you're fragile, my bad
Offended that I've broken the cycle by healing my inner child? Oh, how sad

I've cancelled my subscription because I'm done with your issues
You obviously don't know what it's like to be in my shoes
Treating women like property is your religion
Go ahead, paint me as the villain
 I'll keep playing the part
Yet, you won't admit that you don't have a heart
