Bloodlines

Mother, I am a lost cause I swear you were always right, I am a sorry sight and Father, I know I lost you We couldn't solve this with harsh words or fist fights If my head was a city, then I'm the civil war With the bottle on the shelf, smoke stains on the floor If your heart was a house, a quiet home by the shore Then I'm the fucking tidal wave coming down the hall A deadweight soul No love, no home I've got hell and high water scattered on the floor And there's wolves in the halls, at the doors, in the walls When I was young I was told never to answer the devil's calls But there's no beauty in the world, and I despise it all So sever your family ties There's cancer in the bloodlines There are monsters in this house, you know Crawling from every crack and hole I've got lungs that are filled with coal Singing the anthem of a deadweight soul Singing the anthem of a deadweight soul Singing the anthem of a deadweight soul No love, no home No love, no home No love, no home No love, no home They say you can see a storm coming from miles away Well, I haven't slept in three days Been drinking four years straight And there's dark clouds brewing And it's starting to rain Can you feel it swirling offshore Building with every word I say? I'm not so sure that I'll rest in peace But at the very least I'll get some sleep I'm not so sure that I'll rest in peace But at the very least I'll get some sleep This anthem goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on
