Gushin' Blood

(album: Ours Is Chrome - 2015)

Had the sweetest dream last night. I was playing with my knives
Gushing blood ran down my chin. It wasn't mine
It was me against them all. Pinned them up onto the wall
Cut out pieces of their skin. I missed your call

They all tried running away
Chased them down through the woods
You're always running away from me

In my head I'm feeling fine. They all say I lost my mind
They're crying for the ones they love, but they hurt mine
I tell myself it's all for you, but I think I love it too
I took the bodies down the stairs. What did I do?

Blood red stains on my shirt again
This time the house will burn. Sorry, they called your name
When I promised them it would hurt

Dragged the bags out to the car
Gave them more than just a scar
A smile on my face. A spade under my arm

They all tried running away. Cut them up in the woods
You're always running away from me

Cold sweat runs down my back again
This time we'll feed the worms. Sorry, they called your name
When I promised them it would hurt
