Eldest Sons

from THESIS by Joel Rockey

/

lyrics

You taught me to live, you’re teaching me how to die
You sing every song that I’ve sung
I was tossed to the wind when I pretended to fly
I am the last in a thin line
A thin line of eldest sons

You’re every tooth in my grin, every hair on my head
My heart’s pumping fifty percent of your blood
All I remember is all that I learned to forget
I am the last in a thin line
A thin line of eldest sons

I am the last — tired and true
I’m the last one who hasn’t a clue
When I’m through extolling the past
Still will I be the one standing alone as the last

You’re always right if I’m left except when I’m so inclined
I’ve come up short in every game that you’ve won
Still I run victory laps so that I’m always reminded
I am the last in a thin line
A thin line of eldest sons
