Because Of The Blood

I made you a flag out of leaves and grass

I made you a map out of blood and glass

We were young and we still are

We were cold and it was dark

The tide came early one night erased our names

From the sand, alright, our hands were black

From putting out the fire

Talked about war through cans and wire

In our neighborhood 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 stood by the trees that had no leaves

Let the snow seep into me

I was lonely but that's the way it was

Supposed to be

That's the way you could feel

Our hands were black from putting out the fire

Talked about you

Through cans and wire

Through cans and wire

I pull your hair in the kitchen where

The night was a blur and we were never bored

Because of the blood

I wash my face in the mud

Now I'm someone new

Now I don't look like you
