Lyrics Origins - Blood Feathers, Mazarin

Origins

We’ve been keeping tabs on our history
Cutting little twigs off our family tree
To figure out where we come from
All the people that share our blood
My uncle Jimmy James told an anecdote
I can’t tell if it was a funny joke
It made my daddy laugh
I wish I took a photogram
We’re torn and weathered
Like blood feathers
That fall out of trees
From broken wings
We’ve been keeping tabs on our history
Studying up on our ancestry
To figure out where we come from
All the people that share our blood
It don’t get no easier
To figure out who we are
La da da laddy laddy da
La la la ai da
That’s what we say when we get here
And then when we are leaving here
But it don’t get no easier
To figure out who we are
We’re torn and weathered
Like blood feathers
That fall out of trees
From broken wings
We’re torn and weathered
Like blood feathers
That fall out of trees
From broken wings
