Blade

(album: Dopamine - 2015)

I took my blade, and I cut him deep
And the blood bloomed red on his crisp white shirt
For your party guests to see
I could've run in the night
I could've slit his throat in his sleep
But I wanted you to see
The company you keep

I thought we went together like violence on a balmy night
I thought being alone with a violent man made you feel alright
Can we get away tonight?

And your father said follow the money to the source
That's what life is all about
Then you fuck the source
Till the money comes out

You say that I'm a brute
Cause I fell faster than you
But I've got a heart that's true
And there's nothing that I won't do
To get away with you

Smile lights the slander in her eyes
She's the dark clouds swirling in my skies
And the cocktail chatter all starts to dim
Like a doppler away from me she spins
On a bloom light sea she starts to swim
She betrayed me, all now on a whim
To get away with him

I took my blade
But I couldn't get it all to drain
I could see him bleeding differently
Like teardrops in the rain
