It's Only Your Life Lyrics - Brother's Blood - Kevin Devine

You wrestle yourself to the ground 

You springboard and kick yourself in the mouth 

'Cause all of that drama, that embarrassed charade 

Couldn't stop you or settle you down 

So you got back with your black hole 

And you don't care who's out there or who knows 

'Cause you're spent and you're sad 

'Cause you've bronzed it, it's your badge 

And you've fixed it to all of your clothes 

Every T-shirt and overcoat 

So it's with you through hot or cold 

But I would tear it from the cloth 

Yeah, I would tear it from the cloth 

Grow up and knock it off 

'Cause there's a world awake outside 

With injustice and with music and with July, July 

With history's arc, with your family, with art 

But it don't mean nothing, not to you, not tonight 

'Cause you can't see past the length of your nose 

The biggest problems you're sure they're your own 

That girl you cut loose, those two friends that cursed you 

And all that powder that you can't leave alone 

And you say you know, you know, you know 

But I know that you don't, you don't, you don't 

If you did you'd really try 

If you did you'd really try to let all that die 

So marry yourself to your work 

And crowd your confusion with words 

Then round out your life with some boy you might like 

While you bury your love in the dirt 

'Cause it's endless the ditch you can dig 

You're stubborn and you're prideful and you're all over it 

So I suggest you make sense of the time you've got left 

So you don't end up back where you've been 

And you say you won't, you won't, you won't 

And I hope that you don't, you don't, you don't 

If you mean it then stand up and fight 

If you mean it then stand up and fight 

I mean it's only your life 

I mean it's only your life 

To fix or ruin, to figure what to do with 

It's only your life 

To fix or ruin 'cause no one else is gonna do it 

It's only your life
