๐ Lyrics
Well, I cut open my palm and held it out to you
You did the same with your old army surplus blade
My blood's never as warm as I'd expect it
You grabbed my hand adorned in wildflower warpaint
You made yellows out of Marigolds
You made purples out of Camellias
We charged headfirst into the woods with bows and arrows drawn
Crudley fashioned sticks and rubber bands and spray paint
We swore ourselves protectors from all the evil in the world
You weren't born my brother but you're gonna die that way
You ran alone in the falling snow
Barefoot down Wickes road
I watched your bruises grow
Strangely beautiful, purple and yellow
You said "Don't take me home."
Your father came in angry like a thunderstorm
He tossed you room from room and I watched the color draining from your face
Fault lines started forming underneath all of your floorboards
We sat terrified, waiting on an earthquake
I watched you put on a brave face
I wanted so badly to be brave
They kicked you out to teach you what a man is
I don't think I'll ever know what that means
They'll put a gun into your hand and call you weak until you're violent
Don't believe it
They're hateful because they're empty
We've got a chance to break the cycle
We could be the heroes that we always said we'd be
But don't take me home
You did the same with your old army surplus blade
My blood's never as warm as I'd expect it
You grabbed my hand adorned in wildflower warpaint
You made yellows out of Marigolds
You made purples out of Camellias
We charged headfirst into the woods with bows and arrows drawn
Crudley fashioned sticks and rubber bands and spray paint
We swore ourselves protectors from all the evil in the world
You weren't born my brother but you're gonna die that way
You ran alone in the falling snow
Barefoot down Wickes road
I watched your bruises grow
Strangely beautiful, purple and yellow
You said "Don't take me home."
Your father came in angry like a thunderstorm
He tossed you room from room and I watched the color draining from your face
Fault lines started forming underneath all of your floorboards
We sat terrified, waiting on an earthquake
I watched you put on a brave face
I wanted so badly to be brave
They kicked you out to teach you what a man is
I don't think I'll ever know what that means
They'll put a gun into your hand and call you weak until you're violent
Don't believe it
They're hateful because they're empty
We've got a chance to break the cycle
We could be the heroes that we always said we'd be
But don't take me home
