[Intro]
Two brothers
Same gutter
Same mother
Different hunger
[Verse 1]
One chew roots, herbs in his teeth
Dust on his jeans, wind in his speech
Fingertips spark, air start to twist
Rain drip heavy from a lazy wrist
Palm made of oak, veins all vines
Eyes glow ember when the world misaligns
He breathe in storms, breathe out peace
Whole block chill when his anger release
Other one hunt, all fang, no grace
Drum in his chest, wolf in his face
Jaw turn metal, talon, claw
Backbone coil, cold lion in the jaw
He run with the pack in his bloodstream
Red in his head, kill switch in his genes
Both same scars from the hand-me-down pain
Split at the fork in the family vein
[Chorus]
Blood and branches
Claw and thunder
Two brothers that love each other
But they destined to fight, yeah, destined to fight (destined)
Green in his hands
Red in his hunger
Know they never outrun each other
So they circle all night, yeah, circle all night
[Verse 2]
Dinner table war, no words, just knives
One plate leaves, roots keep him alive
Other plate roar, bone, steam, fat
Silence in the room when they stare across that
Mama see flame in the plant child eye
See hawk in the meat child watching him quiet
One smell rain when the other smell blood
Whole house tilt when they both stand up
He turn to a panther, tail in the chair
Brother pull lightning out the stale kitchen air
Tile floor crack, water in the light
Steam in the air from the first small fight
Later on, moon keep receipts in the sky
Both grown men, no escape from design
Forest start bending when they step to the line
One howl, one thunder, same hurt in they mind
[Bridge]
Who pull first?
Who break curse?
Who spill dirt?
Who heal earth?
Heart feel heavy in a stone-cold chest
Both pray quiet for the other one’s rest
Can’t pick peace when the fate so loud
Storm in the field, whole sky full of growl
[Chorus]
Blood and branches
Claw and thunder
Two brothers that love each other
But they destined to fight, yeah, destined to fight (ooh, destined)
Green in his hands
Red in his hunger
Know they never outrun each other
So they circle all night, yeah, circle all night
