Bloodline

(album: When Facing The Things We Turn Away From - 2021)

The walls are bleeding red
Blisters for the scars and the damage did
But my pictures hanging here
Didn't mean that much until it meant everything

And I know I'm so far gone, your heart can't keep a vacancy for me
Oh, only you know how long you've got to go

There ain't no warning the first time
Ain't no one to tell you run boy, run
Like I should have done
Oh, when I can't fight the bloodline
Living in the seams back home
Oh no

How am I gonna know?
If I'm never alone
When I live in the numb
And all feeling is gone

I throw it all out the window
All out the window
Like it's all I'll ever be

The halls are closing in
If I knew from the start, would it change a thing?
