《The Devil in My Bloodstream》歌词

[00:00:00] We wiped out all the Buffalo

[00:00:04] Around the turn of the last century

[00:00:09] And so it's factories and sawgrass

[00:00:13] Wheat fields and asphalt laid in front of me

[00:00:17] The Midwest feels like a hollow place

[00:00:22] That we filled with love and industry

[00:00:27] And we're staring at the frozen ground in Goodwill suits

[00:00:32] Silent as the pastor reads the eulogy

[00:00:36] Well I wanted to see just a little bit of everything

[00:00:47] Let me be

[00:00:51] Two blackbirds on a highway sign

[00:00:55] Are laughing at me at four in the morning

[00:01:00] They played the war drum out of time

[00:01:05] So I'm not sure where I've been marching

[00:01:09] I wanna be strong but it's not easy anymore

[00:01:18] I'm hoping I'm wrong

[00:01:26] It's sixteen hours straight to home

[00:01:30] From the heart of North Missouri

[00:01:36] And so I searched through my great-grandpop's memoirs

[00:01:40] For the devil in my bloodstream

[00:01:44] Depression grabbed his throat

[00:01:48] And choked the life out of him slowly

[00:01:53] I've got the same blood coursing through my veins

[00:01:57] And it'll come for me eventually

[00:02:01] I bet I'd be a f*cking coward

[00:02:05] I bet I'd never have the guts for war

[00:02:11] 'Cause I can't spend another month away from here

[00:02:15] These frantic rest stop phone calls

[00:02:18] Don't get answered anymore

[00:02:20] But I I wanted to know if I could please come home

[00:02:28] So let me know

[00:02:33] Two blackbirds on a highway sign

[00:02:37] Are laughing at me at four in the morning

[00:02:41] They played the war drum out of time

[00:02:45] So I'm not sure where I've been marching

[00:02:49] I wanna be strong but it's not easy anymore

[00:02:57] I'm hoping I'm wrong

[00:03:06] I'm hoping I'm wrong

[00:03:08] I know how it feels to be

[00:03:11] At war with a world

[00:03:15] That never loved me

[00:03:22] Two blackbirds on a highway sign

[00:03:26] Are laughing at me at four in the morning

[00:03:30] They played the war drum out of time

[00:03:35] So I'm not sure where I've been marching

[00:03:39] I wanna be strong

[00:03:47] I wanna be strong but it's not easy anymore
