Cohesive ties

Family Line by Conan Gray

Christopher Díaz - Martin Orellana

Reference-Personal-Anaphora

My mother never cried a lot. She took the punches, but she never fought

Reference-Personal-Anaphora and Lexical Cohesion

My father never talked a lot He just took a walk around the block 'Til all his anger took a hold of him And then he'd hit

Substitution - nominal and Lexical cohesion

I say they're just the ones who gave me life But I truly am my parents' child

Conjunction- Causal and Substitution - Verbal

'Til she said, "I'm leaving, and I'll take the kids" So she did

Reference - Personal- Cataphora

I say they're just the ones who gave me life But I truly am my parents' child

Conjunction- Adversative

Scattered 'cross my family line God, I have my father's eyes But my sister's when I cry

Oh, all that I did to try to undo it All of my pain and all your excuses I was a kid but I wasn't clueless (Someone who loves you wouldn't do this) All of my past, I tried to erase it But now I see, would I even change it? Might share a face and share a last name, but (We are not the same)

Saddest part just for fun

Thanks
