The Devil in My Bloodstream |
| We wiped out all the Buffalo |
| Around the turn of the last century |
| And so it’s factories and sawgrass |
| And wheat fields and asphalt laid in front of me |
| The Midwest is a hollow place |
| That we filled with love and industry |
| We stared at the frozen ground in Goodwill suits |
| Silent as the pastor reads the eulogy |
| I wanted to see just a little bit of everything |
| Let me be two blackbirds on a highway sign |
| Are laughing at me at four in the morning |
| They played the war drum out of time |
| So I’m not sure where I’ve been marching |
| I wanna be strong, but it’s not easy anymore |
| I’m hoping I’m wrong |
| It’s just five hours straight to home |
| From the town west of Sioux city |
| And so I searched through my great-grandpa's memoirs |
| For the devil in my bloodstream |
| Depression grabbed his throat |
| And choked the life out of him slowly |
| I’ve got the same blood coursing through my veins |
| It’ll come for me eventually |
| I bet I’d be a fucking coward |
| I bet I’d never have the guts for war |
| Cause I can’t spend another month away from here |
| These frantic rest stop phone calls don’t get answered anymore |
| But I, I wanted to know if I could please come home |
| Just let me know |
| Two blackbirds on a highway sign |
| Are laughing at me at four in the morning |
| They played the war drum out of time |
| So I’m not sure where I’ve been marching |
| I wanna be strong, but it’s not easy anymore |
| I’m hoping I’m wrong |
| I’m hoping I’m wrong |
