Blood On The Road

(album: Another Fall From Grace - 2016)

We said "I wish you would
Participate when we're in love"
'Cause it feels like rape sometimes
When you take me inside of you

Playing dead, I wish you could
Resuscitate the stars for you
'Cause you lie there far from me
No matter what I do
'Cause it's painful for me to be rejected
Rejected too

No one here knows
What goes on behind closed doors
'Cause the harm that is mine
Is also yours

She said "I wish you could
Be more present, I wish you would
Cause it feels like making love
With an empty vessel"

Love red, before my eyes
It's the routine I despise
There's no safety in you
When you long to destroy our threshold
And every conversation we have
Becomes a verbal wrestle

Broken glass and withered dead roses
When one more door opens another closes
There's so many monsters
We cultivated through the years
So many hidden agendas
And resentments baked in tears

There's blood on the road

What was before
We see no more
Any time to dust with they
We shall all return
Whether we lie in the ground
Or we burn

So much damage been done
To each other
No matter how much pain
We put each other through

There'll never be another

Too many chase to the sun
In the shadows that fall behind you
So many quiet surrenders
Some memories to remind you

There's blood on the road
We shed blood on the road
There's blood on the road
We spilled blood on the road
