Blood Smell

I’ve stayed so low

For so long now

Between the dark around my eyes

And planned out space in the ground

I’ve found out how to push everyone away

But don’t worry

Just crucify me

We’re staring out of broken windows

I can’t have you go

You held my hand all night

Wiped all the tears off of my eyes

I’m not getting better

And I’m just not who I used to be

Oh, judging by the lack of love

And bitter irony

Now I’ll let it all go

But the car wreck shows

Bleeding hearts

And the poet’s cracked skulls

Now I’m not letting go

But the car wreck shows

Bleeding hearts

And the poets cracked skulls

We’re staring out of broken windows

I can’t have you go

You held my hand all night

Wiped all the tears off of my eyes

It’s getting worse now

And I’m just not who I used to be

Oh, judging by the casket wood

And bitter irony

You stayed up all night

The sunrise traced your outline

Your silhouette bathed in my skin

And your warmth in my mind

I’m sorry I haven’t been in control for a long time

My words will be sepulchered

In a lake of fire

And I’ll watch it all fall apart

Like so many times before

But each piece cuts too deep

My words will be sepulchered

In a lake of fire
