Blood and Bone

Verse 1

Woke up with a name that wasn't mine

Three brothers breathing down the hall

Blood remembers what the mind forgets

I never asked to be half of anything at all

Something in my veins keeps pulling south

A mother made of curses and a vow

I count the faces that I have to keep

And the one I couldn't keep somehow

Pre-Chorus

Tell me who I'm supposed to be

Tell me why my hands shake

Tell me who I'm supposed to be

When everything I love's at stake

Chorus

I am my brother's keeper

I am the flood beneath the skin

I am my brother's keeper

So let the whole world cave in

Cave in

Cave in

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Blood and bone

Oh-oh oh-oh

I hold my own

Verse 2

Every scar I own I earned for them

Smaller shadows sleeping in my chest

I was built to break before I break

I will not go quietly to rest

They called me monster called me half a man

Called me something cursed and something cold

But the smallest one still calls me brother

And that is everything I hold

Pre-Chorus

Tell me who I'm supposed to be

Tell me why the sky leans

Tell me who I'm supposed to be

When I'm tearing at the seams

Chorus

I am my brother's keeper

I am the flood beneath the skin

I am my brother's keeper

So let the whole world cave in

Cave in

Cave in

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Blood and bone

Oh-oh oh-oh

I hold my own

Bridge

Red runs red runs red

Through a family I was handed

Not a family I was owed

I was handed

Not owed

Chorus

I am my brother's keeper

I am the flood beneath the skin

I am my brother's keeper

So let the whole world cave in

Chorus

I am my brother's keeper

I am the storm that will not end

I am my brother's keeper

I'll burn it down before I bend

Before I bend

Before I bend
