Bloodline

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’ve 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?
