Bloodlines

When a switch turns on she just can't stop it

Feeling all this weight and keeps losing some

She's thinking about making appointments

And I'm hoping that she'll just snap out of it

I sleep over at her apartment

After I finish my evening shift

She wants to leave the escarpment

And she's hoping

I can take a hint

But when we hear each other she tells me it's alright

Carve your name in the family tree show me the roots of your bloodline

I walk lightly when

I'm around her counting months left on the lease

I know she' got precious feathers

So I tip toe to keep the peace

But when we hear each other she tells me it's alright

Carve your name in the family tree show me the roots of your bloodline

We hit the road for a couple weeks

And it happened again

You're a poster from the 1950s

But you lost another ten

She hates being alone but you know

I might not be here in a couple of years

But when we hear each other she tells me it's alright

Carve your name in the family tree show me the roots of your bloodline

Our love was like no other

She turned me inside out

Carve your name in the family tree show me the roots of your bloodline
