As we crawl through the trenches
You break my useless defenses
We just met but we’re soul mates
A déjà vu that i cannot place
We share our stories by the campfire
Drink wine and laugh ‘til we expire
I pledge allegiance to the key
Discover that you’re not my enemy
We share ourselves like we’re communist
Open our hands over raisеd fists
This type of love is untestеd
No parental guidance suggested
Time to cling to our connections
They will guide our direction
Swim upstream if you want to die
Family values and forced ties
We are not where we come from
Orphan children of the system
Only now do we understand
That today we form a new clan
She has many adopted siblings
Estranged, but now she has everything
Raise one hand to join the club
This water’s thicker than our blood
Steeples and churches line the way
Down the path to our decay
You have faith but you don’t believe
In what they’re selling on the street
This type of love is untested
When development is arrested
Bear the cross of the wicked
You will free the conflicted
Time to cling to our connections
They will guide our direction
Swim upstream if you want to die
Family values and forced ties
We are not where we come from
Orphan children of the system
Only now do we understand
That today we form a new clan
