In My Blood

My father always told me
I had a rebellious streak
He just observed the thing in himself that he saw in me
When his dad threw war pigs in the fire
c chain of events began to transpire
Until he made the torch ignite
When he handed me a guitar and a mic
When the snow covers the highways
Or the darkest clouds hang up above
You can still find me here
Screaming away every single breath I take
Because this runs in my blood
Growing up I never knew why
My sister made it a point to expand my
Musical vocabulary
The studded belts did make me wary
She'd burn me lime wire CD's
cnd tell tales of a local scene
But what she didn't realize at that time
Was the seed she planted in my mind
When the snow covers the highways
The darkest clouds hang up above
You can still find me here
Screaming away every single breath I take
Because this runs in my blood
In my blood
