blood in my veins - defeater lyrics

can you hear those birds sing?
means we’re closer to sh-r-
means we’re closer to home
further from love and war
further from what made sense
what we were born to do
what kept the blood in our veins,
kept my veins thin with booze

kept my hand on my gun
and my gun by my side
kept the moon in my thoughts
with the sun in my eyes
kept my head hanging low
kept my gun by my side
my brother’s name in my head
and the tears from my eyes
kept the blood in my veins,
kept the blood in my veins,
brothers name in my head
kept the blood in my veins

had me praying for death
for me and my friends
so we’d never wake up
to our lovers again
because every lover had lied
when they said we’d be fine
when they said in good faith
they’d sleep alone every night

hope to come home in one piece with our boys by our side
now we’re ragged and torn like the flags that we fly
like the ones we lay down on a coffin so clean
and see those eyes staring back the boys we used to be
the boys we used to be

kept the blood in my veins
(i re-read the postcards you sent with the truth was a lie)
kept the blood in my veins
(the waves on the hull throw your words off the side)
brother’s name in my head
(the ship takes the dead and dying back home)
and the blood in my veins
(i want to sink to the depths with the letters you wrote)
kept the blood in my veins
kept the blood in my veins
brother’s name in my head
and the blood in my veins
kept the blood in my veins
