Blood Runs Cold

(Album: Slang - 1996)

I heard this line one time 'bout trying to save the world
But have you ever tried to save yourself
A wide-eyed suicide drive
Remains a fake
As if you'd ever
Ever go and make the same mistake
Strung out as the night comes crawling
Your halo of thorns is falling

Blood runs cold
I feel it in my bones
But you don't know your time is up
Blood runs cold

Somebody somewhere is screaming out the words
But do they ever really ease the pain
I guess what I'm trying to say
Is whose life is it anyway because living
Living is the best revenge
You can play
This fall from grace
I see your face
It's over

[Repeat Chorus]

From you love was kind
Resolved left scarred and blind
Wasted and naked in the wings

Denying twist of fate
Demanding Heaven's gate
Lying in wait above the wind

Strung out as the night comes crawling
Your halo of thorns is falling

[Repeat Chorus]

Blood runs cold
Blood runs cold
