Lyrics

Shoulders

Please wake up Please wake up Touch my skin and tell me where you been You brought me in You brought me in So touch my skin and tell me where you been You showed me how To keep myself from burning out They found you in the morning The blood was on your shoulders They found you at the corner Your head was doubled over And the blood of the man who killed my mother with his hands Is in me It's in me In my veins Please wake up Please wake up Touch my skin and tell me where you been You brought me in My best friend So touch my skin and tell me where you been You showed me how To hold my sin And kiss the bad ways I have been They found you in the morning The blood was on your shoulders They found you at the corner Your head was doubled over And the blood of the man who's killing our mother with his hands Is in me It's in me In my veins It's in me It's in me In my veins
