Voxtrot - Blood Red Blood lyrics

rate me

Lonely boy, where do we go

I'm stuck believing in the other side

stuck on my own

run fast, you're dreaming

no place to hide

safety in things i'm dumb for thinking

'cuz a piece of plastic

is nothing more than a piece of plastic

empty streets under my feet

how did we get so far?

from the general beat

across that great

held fast together in the dying day

oh you are swimming inside the magic hour

oh and when you wet your skin

you can suck up all you need to know

you can suck up all you need to know, oh oh

picture me, how will you picture me when i am dead?

all fast and free, building a fantasy with blocks in my head

a legacy, do these things disapate in the years unread?

i've got a pain just like a knife, and the time has left me

oh i'm just trying to do my best

i'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death

build my love in the things i say

you've gotta lift your face to the breaking day

oh i'm just trying to do my best

i'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death

build my love in the things i say

you've gotta lift your face to the breaking day

so i ran and i jumped and i flew till i came to the center of an earth so cold

and the wind picked me up and took me straight to the belly of the fears i hold

and i ran and i ran and i ran and i ran

then i came right back

threw my arms around you,

you were dressed in black,

i'm so glad i found you

for they burned my stuff,

objects all around me

memories outlast things,

memories astound me

to a fate like this

keep your body down to the ground

to the soil that we love so much

i always wanted to return

return to the place where i was born

i always wanted to return

and i ran and i ran and i ran

oh i'm just trying to do my best

i'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death

build my love in the things i say

you've gotta lift your face to the breaking day

oh i'm just trying to do my best

i'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death

build my love in the things i say

you've gotta lift your face to the breaking day

because in time it leaves you,

it leaves you like blood, red blood

it leaves you like blood, red blood

it leaves you like blood, red blood

it leaves you like blood, red blood
