chatham rabbits – fourth of july lyrics
[verse 1]
does blood carry it′s weight in gold?
’cause my blood’s as black as night
it bites like a snake, and it′s full of hate
i’d like to sever the ties
i try to do the best i can
but my blood, it beats me down
like a heart with an arrow
spits and sputters
[chorus]
i can’t seem to get out
every year on the fourth of july
we gather ‘round the fire
tellin’ your stories and drinkin′ wine
pretending we′re alright
[verse 2]
my blood runs thick but i smile through the pain
the venom of my kin to blame
pinch my cheek to wake me up
don’t tell me how i have changed
you′re always tryin’ to pick a fight
sayin′ you’re just givin′ advice
smile at me through the grit of your t++th
you cut me, and it’s your blood i bleed
[chorus]
every year on the fourth of july
we gather ’round the fire
tellin’ your stories and drinkin′ wine
pretending we′re alright
[verse 3]
what’s strange is that i want you to love me
i′ll tell you all i’ve done
in hopes that you′ll say that you are proud
though the weight of your words is none
why do i pine for your embrace
when tears are all i’m bound
your words are shallow and so will be
the grave i lay you to rest
[chorus]
every year on the fourth of july
we gather ’round the fire
tellin′ your stories and drinkin’ wine
pretendin’ were alright
pretendin′ were alright
