wonder years - the devil in my bloodstream lyrics

Loading...

we wiped out all the buffalo
around the turn of the last century
and so its factories and sawgr-ss
wheat fields and asphalt laid in front of me
the midwest feels like a hollow place
that we filled with love and industry
and we’re staring at the frozen ground in goodwill suits
silent as the pastor reads the eulogy
well i, i wanted to see just a little bit of everything
let me be

two blackbirds on a highway sign
are laughing at me at four in the morning
they played the war drum out of time
so i’m not sure where i’ve been marching
i wanna be strong, but it’s not easy anymore
i’m hoping i’m wrong

it’s sixteen hours straight to home
from the heart of north missouri
and so i searched through my great-grandpa’s memoirs
for the devil in my bloodstream
depression grabbed his throat and
choked the life out of him slowly
i got the same blood coursing through my veins
it’ll come for me eventually

i bet i’d be a f-cking coward
i bet i’d never have the guts for war
’cause i can’t spend another month away from here
these frantic rest stop phone calls don’t get answered anymore
but i, i wanted to know if i could please come home
so let me know

two blackbirds on a highway sign
are laughing at me at four in the morning
they played the war drum out of time
so i’m not sure where i’ve been marching
i wanna be strong, but it’s not easy anymore
i’m hoping i’m wrong
i’m hoping i’m wrong

i know how it feels to be
at war with the world
that never loved me

two blackbirds on a highway sign
are laughing at me at four in the morning
they played the war drum out of time
so i’m not sure where i’ve been marching

i wanna be strong
i wanna be strong, but it’s not easy anymore
