Movie Blood

(album: The Noble Rot - 2020)

Lights camera action no satisfaction
We only exist to insist on reaction
Why do we try
When there's no real reason why
There's a time and a place and a space that we make
But we don't understand that it's fake and we're here just the same
So strange
When there's no one left to blame

'Cause that ain't real, that is movie blood
No fingerprints they were in the glove
The breakaway glass it don't even cut
To make movie blood, to make movie blood
No that ain't real, that is movie blood
No fingerprints they were in the glove
The breakaway glass it don't even cut
To make movie blood, to make movie blood

Illusions confusing and always intruding
The place that you go when you fear that you're losing
Your mind and that's fine
It's how we all decline
Bending and turning, realities learning
To tear you apart at the seams as you're burning
Alive and you'll find
It's all just by design

'Cause that ain't real, that is movie blood
No fingerprints they were in the glove
The breakaway glass it don't even cut
To make movie blood, to make movie blood

We only want to pretend, we only want to pretend
We only want to pretend it's true
And then we get to the end, and then we get to the end
And then we get to the end, let's go

That ain't real, that is movie blood
No fingerprints they were in the glove
The breakaway glass it don't even cut
To make movie blood, to make movie blood
No that ain't real, that is movie blood
No fingerprints they were in the glove
The breakaway glass it don't even cut
To make movie blood, to make movie blood

We only want to pretend, we only want to pretend
We only want to pretend it's true
And then we get to the end, and then we get to the end
And then we get to the end, let's go
