dogtooth & nail – ruins lyrics

Loading...

open up old wounds
that i st-tched together myself
open up old wounds
and slide along the pavement

i’m returning back to the river
with my hair long and tied
gonna take my knife and 
let it all fall
downstream
cause my ghosts keep following me

that’s why i’m…

{chorus}
dreaming of the road
cause this house can’t hold me no more
i’ve been drowning in my own smoke
but there’s nowhere that i belong

domesticated dog
tied to a pole
with this life she’s been living
she’s trying to die before she gets old

never been to new orleans
she wants to howl
and play in the streets
never been to northern california
where she heard at night the sky cries
and the ocean sleeps

well these
cities will soon be ruins
their colors ripped down and burned
for everyone to see
pushing out
to pull them in
praising names that a year ago
they wouldn’t dare to speak

that’s why i’m…
{chorus}
dreaming of the road
cause this house can’t hold me no more
i’ve been drowning in my own smoke
but there’s nowhere that i belong

fill a jar with my tears
and spread it over oklahoma’s vast countryside
let my body mix with her soil
cause i’d lay here for days if it would save more than my life
and whether you
leave by choice or force
you’re never coming back home
cause they’ve taken your roots
and painted them gold
selling them for fifteen dollars but they can’t
sell your soul i’m…

{chorus}
dreaming of the road
cause this house can’t hold me no more
i’ve been drowning in my own smoke
but there’s nowhere that i belong

fill up old tombs
that you dug for yourself
close up old rooms
where you danced until your eyes turned red

and it’s hard to break the habit of sleeping on one side of the bed
it’s hard to break the habit of smoking cigarettes but imma keep
fighting like h-ll for the living while honoring the dead
listening
to where i’m guided to lay this weary head
i’m…

{chorus} x2
dreaming of the road
cause this house can’t hold me no more
i’ve been drowning in my own smoke
but there’s nowhere that i belong
