The Midwest feels like a hollow place that we filled with love and industry. We're staring at the frozen ground in Goodwill suits, silent as the pastor reads the eulogy. I wanted to see just a little bit of everything. Let me be. Two blackbirds on a highway sign are laughing at me at four in the morning. They played the war drum out of time so I'm not sure where I've been marching. I want to be strong but it's not easy anymore. I'm hoping I'm wrong. It's sixteen hours straight to home from the heart of North Missouri. I searched through my great-grandpop's memoirs for the devil in my bloodstream. Depression grabbed his throat and choked the life out of him slowly. I've got the same blood coursing through my veins; it'll come for me eventually. I bet I'd be a fucking coward. I bet I'd never have the guts for war. I can't spend another month away from here and these frantic rest stop phone calls don't get answered anymore. But I wanted to know if I could please come home. Let me know. I know how it feels to be at war with a world that never loved me. --- Follow The Wonder Years on social media! ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/thewonderyears ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewonderyearsband ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewonderyearsband --- Subscribe to our channel for more videos! http://hopel.es/1SLT7uw Follow Hopeless Records on social media! ► Twitter: http://twitter.com/hopelessrecords ► Facebook: http://facebook.com/hopelessrecords ► Instagram: http://instagram.com/hopelessrecords ► Tumblr: http://tumblr.com/hopelessrecords ► Snpachat: @hopelessrecords --- http://thewonderyearsband.com http://hopelessrecords.com
