Chris Milam - In the Blood Lyrics

There in the Kanawha Valley
There in the phosphorus breeze
There in the baptismal water
There in the cure, there in disease
I can't hide and I can't run
I can't lie, it always was
In the blood
There in the cable news crawling
In Murdoch and Dow
In Article 1, Section 2
In wrongs we can't write out (Now)
I can't hide and I can't run
I can't lie, it always was
In the blood
There like a cancer dividing
Like original sin
In the shadow of time
The thought and the crime
That follows you home again and again and
I can't hide and I can't run
I can't fight, I ain't enough
It's a flame on fire, it's rain on flood
I can't lie, it always was
In the blood
And I'll wait 'til your wake in the morning
Biting my cheek in the pew
And I'll pray to the God you believed in
It's dying with you
It's dying with you
