don't have sex because you'll fall in love, then die

maybe have the sense to realize

sooner than later;

they're too good for you.

don't be like your father.

maybe have the sense to realize,

sooner than later;

cowardice is hereditary, 

and they don't have it.

courage is contagious and you felt that in their arms

fear is shared in your blood.

but you turned it into wine,

they took it on the chin.

they kissed you on the neck,

and you hope they won't again.

because your family has a tendency to sign up for the plague like it's a pep rally;

it's gonna take you more than distance.
