Harry Potter, Sirius Black POV

Song by Alex Warren and Jelly Roll

Bloodline

Take that pain, pass it down like bottles on the wall

He was getting scared that he was getting like his cousin, Bella, as the Crucio’s didn’t hurt as much as they used to when his mother did them on him when he came home front school.

Mama said her dad’s to blame but that’s his daddy’s fault

Family is backing mum up that she was right to “discipline” him in any way she felt like

Oh, there’s no one left to call

You stay up counting down the days ’til you make your escape
But you’re afraid you can’t outrun what’s running through your veins

The Black Madness was creeping in like it did Bella. He could feel it.

Oh, you’re carrying the weight

Off in the distant part of his brain he heard his brother, James calling to him.

In the dead of night, on that broken road
I won’t let you walk alone

Oh, my brother
You don’t have to follow in your bloodline
Oh, we got each other
And if you got tomorrow, then you still got time
To break the chain that left you scarred
From where you came isn’t who you are
Oh, my brother
You don’t have to follow in your bloodlinе

He escaped his time in hell at home to James side
James always knew how to sooth him when he’d been in hell. Even if it was the hell of his own mind.

Oh, I won’t pretend that I know half the hеll you’ve seen
But that don’t mean that’s something that you’re destined to repeat
Oh, you’re stronger than you think
I know it has to end, but you don’t know where to start

James will always, hopefully, be there for him.

You can pack your bags and I’ll meet you where you are
Oh, I’ll be waiting in the car
