We're televisions whose mouths and words Don't line up like they should You're hard concrete, while I'm stuck on The blood staining it and where it came from Coffee cups collect at the side of my bed Red pins pushed through the places I've been I tie them together with a string The pattern just tells me, "Go to sleep" I should go to sleep I'm getting used to my skin but it doesn't fit right I share my name with a stranger all my life And I feel it all, Carolina in my blood Run, brother, run I was twenty-five when my dad died My arm's fell weak, my heart grew tired And every girl I tried to kiss Gives that look you did so I choose to miss Find the greatest books read to the end In those last lines you'll find my friends Like flies on tape, I keep them close We may look dead but move our toes I'm getting used to my skin but it doesn't fit right I share my name with a stranger all my life And I feel it all, Carolina in my blood Run, brother, run I keep your things in my garage I won't drive away I feel it all, Carolina in my blood Run, brother, run
