Because Of The Blood

I made you a flag out of leaves and grass,

I made you a map out of modern glass

We were young, and we still are

We were cold, and it was dark

The tide came running one night

He erased our names from the sand

Our hands were black from putting out the fire

Talked about boys who dance in white

In our neighbourhood the houses were old,

The trees were young, and the summer sea was cold

Because of the blood,

I wash my face in the mud

Now i'm someone new

Now i don't look like you

I sit by the trees that had no leaves,

Let the snow seep into me,

And there's no leaves, but that's the way it was supposed to be

That's the way you could feel our hands

Were black when we were putting out the fire

Talked about you, you dance in white, you dance in white

I pull your hair in the kitchen where the night was burnt??

And we were never coy

Because of the blood

I wash my face in the mud

Now i'm someone new

Now i don't look like you
