Car Seat Headrest Devereaux
[Verse 1: Devereaux]
I never questioned the call of the father to his next of kin
Pull me out of the fire, tell me you love me
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
[Verse 2: Devereaux]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1: Devereaux]
Before the bitter moss consumed thе brighter spots of a hopeful past
Is it too much to ask for something that will last?
[Chorus 1: Devereaux]
Dеvereaux
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
[Bridge: Devereaux & Fathers]
And inside of the tent, they're turning animals to men
Here's a heart for guilt, here's a mind to think again
Out of my garden! Out of my life!
I wasn't born to be this, I was born to fight dragons
With a cowl on my face
With an auspicious birthday
Out of my garden! Out of my life!
[Verse 3: Devereaux]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2: Devereaux]
It's too late to hope that the one who finds me now
Will know her song and speak it out loud
And she sang
[Chorus 2: Devereaux's Mother]
Devereaux!
We all come from a long, long line
Today you're walking here side by side with me and mine
Oh, Devereaux!
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
[Outro: Devereaux's Mother]
Devereaux, we all wait in the silence
Devereaux, we all wait in the silence
