[Verse 1] [M1] I found my name in the ash [M1] Under your old front gate [M2] The same red scar on my hand [M2] From the night I learned to hate [M1] Your voice still lives in the halls [M2] Mine still shakes in the frame [M1] We grew up biting the floor [M2] Now we both taste the same [Pre-Chorus] [M1] I hear the younger us [M2] Pounding on the walls [M1] One wants to run for home [M2] One wants to watch it fall [M1] I wear your face at dusk [M2] You wear mine at dawn [M1] Tell me who survives [M2] When the last light’s gone [Chorus] [M1] This war is in my blood [M2] This war is in my blood [M1] I know the blade by heart [M2] I know the bruise it leaves [M1] I held my heaven shut [M2] I let my hell breathe [M1] This war is in my blood [M2] This war is in my blood [Verse 2] [M1] The kitchen door still sticks [M2] Like the words we never said [M1] Your boots by the furnace glow [M2] My dreams in a rusted bed [M1] I chased the boy I was [M2] Through the corn and thunderhead [M1] He turned and smiled like pain [M2] Then he went and led me dead [Pre-Chorus] [M1] I hear the younger us [M2] Pounding on the walls [M1] One wants to run for home [M2] One wants to watch it fall [M1] I wear your face at dusk [M2] You wear mine at dawn [M1] Tell me who survives [M2] When the last light’s gone [Chorus] [M1] This war is in my blood [M2] This war is in my blood [M1] I know the blade by heart [M2] I know the bruise it leaves [M1] I held my heaven shut [M2] I let my hell breathe [M1] This war is in my blood [M2] This war is in my blood [Bridge] [M1] I buried the old score [M2] It rose with every breath [M1] Two wolves in one cold chest [M2] Both hungry for the wreck [M1] If I cut out the fear [M2] I cut out my face [M1] So I stand in the fire [M2] And I call it by name [Final Chorus] [M1] This war is in my blood [M2] This war is in my blood [M1] I know the blade by heart [M2] I know the bruise it leaves [M1] I held my heaven shut [M2] I let my hell breathe [M1] This war is in my blood [M2] This war is in my blood
