BLOODLINE

Verse 1

Showtime

Bloodlines

First daughters my mama

Second daughter grandmama

First son

He is your father

Second son your grandfather

Roots

Deep roots

They tangle in the red dirt

Heavy hands

Hollow chest

Chorus

And they came back

And they came back

And they came back

And they came back

Somebody ask me do we turn to birds when we die

I replied do angels have wings

And they came back

And they came back

Verse 2

Feathers

Gold feathers

I see them in the kitchen light

I see them in the hallway

I see them in my sleep

Old ghosts

New skin

The ceiling starts to breathe

No air

Just bone

Silent spirits sitting on the porch

Waiting

Watching

Counting every single breath I take

Bitter bread and broken bowls

Chorus

And they came back

And they came back

And they came back

And they came back

Somebody ask me do we turn to birds when we die

I replied do angels have wings

And they came back

And they came back

Bridge

They flew

They fell

They found us

Tricolon of the family tree

Lifting up

Looking down

Leaving marks

Wings beat against the glass

Wings beat against the wood

Wings beat against my chest

Chorus

And they came back

And they came back

And they came back

And they came back

Somebody ask me do we turn to birds when we die

I replied do angels have wings

And they came back

And they came back

Outro

First son

Your father

Second son

Grandfather

They came back

They came back

Still here

Always here
