Letra de Brother's Blood

[Verse 1]
My brother's blood boils in my arms
It balls my fingers into fists
It bubbles, blisters, burns my palms
It floods with fury, fights and fits
It's got the good guy in me hidin'
It kicks my humble heart around
It's got me fiendin' for the fire
That could finish off this town
Oh, it's got me good
[Verse 2]
My brother's blood on a cherry tree
It stains the bark from branch to root
It puddles thick with pits and leaves
It strains the sweetness from the fruit
It's got me lookin' for communion
A hidin' spot off underground
An open plot I could climb into
A lightening promise in my mouth
A blackout oath I swore and meant
But couldn't conjure up again
I don't know one thing about my brother's blood, no
I don't know one thing about my brother's blood
[Verse 3]
It's my brother's blood in my dirty lungs
In my crooked mouth, on my swollen tongue
On my father's gun, on each stranger's face
Across the bluebird sky, on every hand I shake
Night after night and each chuckled prayer
Such sweet relief, my fists full of hair
And each desperate drive for elusive peace
And every endless night and each wasted week
All that dialogue doublin' back on me
All that tangled talk, all my growling need
It's my brother's back, it's my father's arms
It's every twisted fact in my sorry heart
My sorry heart, my sorry heart
Oh, oh
[Outro]
I spit and scream "What's done is done
Go make your peace with everyone"
They don't need to know about my brother's blood, no-uh-oh
They don't need to know about my brother's blood
