[Verse 1]
Motel Bible
Page is torn
Dad's old jacket
Smells like storms
Fake IDs in a coffee cup
Trunk full of secrets
Iron and dust
You take highways like they're veins
I read lore to numb the pain
Every mile another ghost
Every town we almost don't
[Chorus]
This is the life that we were handed
Bleeding on the road they planned it
Carry the salt
Carve the signs
Bury our names
Save their lives
We keep running into fire
Burning down what we desire
Family business
Loaded gun
Who saves the saviors when we're done?
[Verse 2]
Kitchen table
Plates and maps
Dad's old voice in voicemail scraps
"Watch your back" and "Don't die slow"
Hard to hear
Harder to let go
You want normal
Want a door
That just locks
Not wards a war
I want peace and I want you
But the sky keeps cracking through
[Chorus]
This is the life that we were handed
Bleeding on the road they planned it
Carry the salt
Carve the signs
Bury our names
Save their lives
We keep running into fire
Burning down what we desire
Family business
Loaded gun
Who saves the saviors when we're done?
[Bridge]
How many worlds on our shoulders?
How many scars getting older?
If the end comes
Hand in hand
Do we fight or just let it land? (yeah)
[Chorus]
This is the life that we were handed
Bleeding on the road they planned it
Carry the salt
Carve the signs
Bury our names
Save their lives
We keep running into fire
Burning down what we desire
Family business
Loaded gun
Who saves the saviors when we're done?
Who saves the saviors when we're done?
