River of Blood

On the river of blood and my veins went dry
Last night I went to sleep and died
Ghost of Zubin
Bring me back to life
It's only when I'm near you
Yeah, it's only when I'm near you
Try to push you away
But I won't lie
The closer I get to death
The more I feel alive

I make a call to the kid with the chemicals
In the back of the club
Come through right now
I'm so high and she wanna get physical
My hand, her hand
My neck, her mouth
I want a lover
I don't have to love
Ain't no tomorrow
Just right now

Try to push you away
But I won't lie
The closer I get to death
The more I feel alive

Shadow of death creeps through inside
Last night I went to sleep alone again
Cut right through it
Let me take one more life
I had a way of describing you
The way you kiss
I remember your picture too

And when I call it's in vain
But I won't lie
The closer you get to me
The more you wanna die

I try to keep you on the side
I'm lying to myself
While I try to run and hide
I look into the mirror
It's no one I recognize
Can't look you in the eyes
I'm feeling so ashamed
But you help me with the pain, yeah
You stick around when I'm on my own
I shut you out when I'm in my zone
I'm looking for a place that I call home
A heart of sorrow and a face of stone

And that's all that I'll ever be (yeah-uh)
I tried erasing your memory (oh-oh)
But you always get back to me (yeah-uh)
I can't escape all this energy
So I fall
And now I can't stand
I'm hoping you can break the fall when I land
I'm trying to believe in you but I can't
'Cause I've been always breaking all of my plans
God damn, yeah

I make a call to the kid with the chemicals
In the back of the club
Come through right now
I'm so high and she wanna get physical
My hand, her hand
My neck, her mouth
I want a lover
I don't have to love
Ain't no tomorrow
Just right now

Try to push you away
But I won't lie
The closer I get to death
The more I feel alive

Get my medicine from the same kid
And I take it all, it's okay, uh-uh, uh-uh
You see, I don't wanna keep it
What you gotta say for yourself right now?
I don't wanna see when your river runs dry
If you wanna go
Know I'll be around
(River of blood and it's running dry)
(Keeps you on your toes and you're asking why, o-oh)
(You see, I don't wanna keep it)
(I don't wanna keep it)
(I don't wanna keep it)
(I don't wanna keep it)
