Pumpkin Bloodline

Walking through the gate with a knight on my back

Old family shadows in a black velvet pack

Every whisper, warning, every crooked stare

I learned to wear the danger like a chain I could bear

They said I'd break, they said I'd bend

But I made my fear into a weapon to defend

I carry the family curse into the spotlight

Wearing like a crown in the dead of moonlight

If the dark was a showdown, I won't run, I won't hide

I turn fear into power, let the fire climb inside

Turn fear into power, let me roar tonight

I carry the family curse into the spotlight

Down the halls where the laughter turns cold

I can hear the old blood singing brave and bold

Every cracked up rumor, every ghost in the air

Makes a louder heartbeat when I meet it there

They said I'd fall, they said I'd kneel

Now I'm spinning every scar into something real

I carry a family curse into the spotlight

Wearing like a crown in the dead of moonlight

If the dark was a showdown, I won't run, I'll bounce high

I turn fear into power, let the fire climb inside

Turn fear into power, let it roar tonight

I carry the family curse into the spotlight

So scream my name, let the campus shake

I'm the storm they warned you not to wake

From the wreckage, from the static, from the sting

I rise up louder than the fear that used to cling

I carry the family curse into the spotlight

Wear it like a crown in the dead of moonlight

If the dark was a showdown, I won't run, I won't hide

I turn fear into power, let the fire climb inside

Turn fear into power, let it roar tonight

Carry the family curse into the spotlight
