Blood In The Ashtray
These long days and short years
These long fights and short tears
We've come this far
That's just far enough
I've seen the closets where your skeletons hide
This house has stories but walls refuse to speak
A war without a truce
It's just me myself and I cannot be found to settle the score
Why can't we use these ropes for rescue?
My neck is is sore from hanging around
We lost words on the tips of tongues
We made worlds when we were still young
A race to bottom that no one wants to win
Don't kick this down the road
Let's just begin
We're caught red-handed
I'm not holding the white flag
Don't surrender
No surrender
So tired of watching this unfold
Can't look away
There's blood in the ashtray
What's in these veins that we share that doesn't mix?
There's no solution
It cannot be fixed
Our eyes- they look the same but we see so differently
A once shared soil is now enemy ground
Forced hands will never shake; let alone reach out to you
You'll never suffer long with a temper so short
A growing fray in family ties
The bond is broken now
Built upon lies
We're caught red-handed
I'm not holding the white flag
Don't surrender
No surrender
So tired of watching this unfold
Can't look away
There's blood in the ashtray
So much history
So many tales
We've been chasing our own for years
Back to the drawing board
But this time just erasing
Erase this
These long fights and short tears
We've come this far
That's just far enough
I've seen the closets where your skeletons hide
This house has stories but walls refuse to speak
A war without a truce
It's just me myself and I cannot be found to settle the score
Why can't we use these ropes for rescue?
My neck is is sore from hanging around
We lost words on the tips of tongues
We made worlds when we were still young
A race to bottom that no one wants to win
Don't kick this down the road
Let's just begin
We're caught red-handed
I'm not holding the white flag
Don't surrender
No surrender
So tired of watching this unfold
Can't look away
There's blood in the ashtray
What's in these veins that we share that doesn't mix?
There's no solution
It cannot be fixed
Our eyes- they look the same but we see so differently
A once shared soil is now enemy ground
Forced hands will never shake; let alone reach out to you
You'll never suffer long with a temper so short
A growing fray in family ties
The bond is broken now
Built upon lies
We're caught red-handed
I'm not holding the white flag
Don't surrender
No surrender
So tired of watching this unfold
Can't look away
There's blood in the ashtray
So much history
So many tales
We've been chasing our own for years
Back to the drawing board
But this time just erasing
Erase this
