My Blood

[Chorus 1]
My blood my blood
Look how far I've come
My blood my blood
Oh look what I've done
Yeah, my blood my blood
Fill me up like a loaded gun
My blood my blood
I think I'm going numb

[Verse 1]
You think this a page
I treat it more like a canvas
Painting pictures is like writing scriptures
Can't meet my standards
I like to think that I have the answers
But that's naivety
You fly a different flag from me you're my enemy

You used to be a friend to me but you offended me
By thinking this country ain't the best to be
How can you think that?
If you really believe that
Then go back to the country where your family be at

No you didn't see that
Another shooting, relax
There's no need to react
But did you see uh the ad

You can buy two tea bags
For the price of one, use the app
We're not hooked on guns
We just had a tiny relapse

But you took a knee at the anthem
You must hate the troops and really hate the flag
I just want my TV back
I don't care about your problems, not because you're black
It's just I only care about my fantasy stats
Wait

[Chorus 2]
My blood my blood
Look how far I've come
My blood my blood
Oh look what I've done
Yeah, my blood my blood
Is as hot as the sun
My blood my blood
I think I'm going numb

[Verse 2]
Set it ablaze
It won't affect me anyway
So why should I pay?
I won't be seeing the change
Yeah, I'm stuck in my ways
What's a couple of degrees, I'll just sit in the shade
No straws? You mean to tell me that is how this world would be saved?

Think I care about your minimum wage?
All you do is complain
That is not how you were raised
Wait, how you were raised?
I'm not the one you should blame
For who you became, another forest burning

But the world's still turning
This is not my burden
Global warming? Explain the snow when I open up my curtains

Oh, my lungs are hurting
It's getting hard to breathe
How did the snow just melt almost as quick as it just fell?

[Chorus 3]
My blood my blood
Look how far I've come
My blood my blood
Oh look what I've done
Yeah, my blood my blood
I can't feel it run
My blood my blood
I think I'm going numb

[Verse 3]
Yeah, my blood my blood
I'm not mad no more, I'm disappointed
Just take a look what we built only to destroy it
We just want a person to blame so that we will know who to point at
When things go wrong
We don't have too long

This is more than a song
These are genuine fears
This is all that I hear
From family, peers
And it makes me sick then brings me to tears
When I hear that we dropped a bomb and people sit and cheer
As another person's family member fights their battles

It's easy to call the shots when you don't have to pull the trigger
We are killing ourselves while the world is getting sicker
So if it ain't climate change
Then we'll just do it quicker

Yeah, sit and bicker
About who's fault
Cause you gotta be right, you gotta stand tall

But it's gonna be hard to stand
When all our land
Is full of sand and ash
No future and past
