Текст песни Devereaux - Car Seat Headrest

I never questioned
The call of the father to his next of kin
Pull me out of the fire
Tell me you love, and throw me back in

If I could ask for mercy
If I could give up this life of sin
The only one I've ever known
Visit my parents and then go back home

Been scanning the stations
Searching for a song to fall back in love
Came across one that shook me
So sweetly when I was young

Before I was rusted as this car
Before the bitter moths consumed
The brighter spots of a hopeful past
Is it too much to ask for something that will last?

Devereaux
I always heard as my granddad's name
The first time that I felt its weight, I cried and I said
"Devereaux
In the space between here and you
There's a kid who don't know what to do
He waits in the silence to hear"

And inside of the tent
They're turning animals to men
Here's a heart for guilt
Here's a mind to think again
Outta my garden, out of my life

But I wasn't born to be this
I was born to fight dragons
With a cowl on my face
With an auspicious birthday
Outta my garden, out of my life

Riverrun to the country
I sail in a basket down the tides and wait
For some gentle face to come
Peering down through the wicker frame

I think of my mother and her voice
The dishes that she made, it's too late
To hope that the one who finds me now
Will know her song and speak it out loud

And she said, "Deveraux
We all come from a long, long line
Today you're walking it side by side with me and mine
Oh, Deveraux
I always heard as my own dad's name
The first time that I saw you take it, I cried and I said

'Devereaux
In the land beyond me and you
A bunch of kids who don't know what to do
We wait in the silence to hear'"

Devereaux
We all wait in the silence

Devereaux
We all wait in the silence
