, , , ]  x6
 My Brothers Blood  boils in my arms.
 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 hiding.
 It kicks my humble  heart around.
 It’s got me fiending  for the fire
 That could finish  off this town.
 Oh it’s got me good.
, , , ]x3
 My brothers blood  on the cherry tree.
 It stains to bark  from branch to root.
 It puddles thick  with pits and leaves.
 It stains the sweetness  from the fruit.
 It's got me looking  for communion.
 Some hiding spot  off underground.
 An open plot  I could climb into.
 A lightning  promise in my mouth.
 A black out oath  I swore and meant.
 I couldn’t conger  up again.
 I don’t know  one thing about  my brother’s  blood.
 No, oh.
 I don’t know  one thing about  my brother’s blood.
 Solo. (Working on it...)
, , , ]x5
 It’s my brother’s blood  in my dirty lung.
 On my crooked mouth  and my swollen tongue.
 On my fathers gun.  On each strangers face.
 Across the blue bird sky.  On every hand I shake.
 Night after night,  on each chuckled prayer.
 Such sweet relief,  my fist full of hair.
 And each desperate drug  for elusive peace.
 And every endless night  and every wasted week.
 All that dialogue  doubling back on me.
 All that tangled talk.  All my growling need.
 It’s my brother’s back.  It’s my father’s arms
 Every twisted fact.  In my sorry heart. (My sorry heart.)
, , , ]x3
 I spit and I scream  'What’s done is done'.
 Go make your peace  with everyone.
 I don’t know  one thing about  my brother’s  blood.
 No, oh.
 I don’t know  one thing about  my brother’s blood.
