Blood from a Stone

It's as if we're tracing some familiar fault line

Running down the coast from you to me

Dark potential just beneath the surface,

All the worlds colliding in the tragedy

Blood from a stone, wine from water

I'd die here alone, only daughter

Blood from a stone, wine from water

I'd die here alone, like a lamb to slaughter

Silence has become our only currency

You pay me and I'll be sure to pay you back

But step lightly til you've crossed the jagged border

Cuz the earth may shift beneath you, pull the rug out,

All your history keeping track

Blood from a stone, wine from water

I'd die here alone, only daughter

Blood from a stone, wine from water

I'd die here alone, like a lamb to slaughter

I'll reel in my addictions in the face of your distress

Aches and pains all shelved and put aside

I'll jump to my conclusions, but I'll leap to your defense

And I'll wish I were the brave one as I breathe another lie

'Cause it runs in the family, it's coursing through our veins

It lingers and gets caught in our hearts

Running in the family, it's a little like insane

The trimmings and the trappings of the artist and the art

Blood from a stone, wine from water

I'd die here alone, only daughter

Blood from a stone, wine from water

I'd die here alone, like a lamb to slaughter
