Bloodlines

[Verse 1]
Drunk all my sorrows
Turn worry to smoke
Born into bad luck, baptized in broke
Black lungs, coal mines
Stoled pills to cheap wine
Souls are shot from the running

[Verse 2]
Caged like a coyote
In a cold 12x10
Carved in the concrete
By my daddy's hand
His two initials
To make it official
I'm going down by the way I was raised

[Chorus]
Levee done broke again
River don't give a damn
Cut veins, floodplains
Drown in the old shame
Fly 'til you fall
It's there on the wall
The water flows one way
Your last name, you can't change
The bloodlines

[Verse 3]
I ain't the answer
To nobody's prayers
I've said my own
Don't nobody care
Fight off thе demons
But damn if I don't need em
To keep this old hand me down hеart beating

[Chorus]
Levee done broke again
River don't give a damn
Cut veins, floodplains
Drown in the old shame
Fly 'til you fall
It's there on the wall
The water flows one way
Your last name, you can't change
The bloodlines

[Bridge]
Keep on dreaming
You gotta read between 'em
The bloodlines

[Chorus]
Levee done broke again
River don't give a damn
Cut veins, floodplains
Drown in the old shame
Fly 'til you fall
It's there on the wall
The water flows one way
Your last name, you can't change
The bloodlines
