Blood From Stone

I don't wanna die anymore
I've had this vision
That if I get to work I'll live to see the day
When my castle falls down in front of me

I've been a little lost
Yeah I've been going round in circles, but don't laugh
I thought if I could make it to the mountaintop
You'd see me and maybe you'd feel proud

Am I meant to watch the Earth from up above?
No connection, just a bird's eye view of love
Am I meant to dream big, play it tough?
It's tragic, it's magic
How I came to believe
The things you said before I went to sleep

Trying to love you feels like making soup from bone
Trying to love you feels like drawing blood from stone
And in our separate rooms we crave each other's praise
Can't you see we're both the cause and consequence

But I'm getting tired, yes I'm getting bored
Trying to find new ways for you to love me more
I used to burn like fire, now I'm the afterglow
A love that makes us smaller
Is it love?
I don't wanna die anymore
I've had this vision
Towers burning down inside my cornflake bowl
I spill the milk, come quick, here comes the flood

Don't tell me I'm to blame
For the dirty thoughts that slither round my head
Did you think I'd get far with the love you gave?
Heard you talk about me with such shame

Where's my youth gone, where's my paradise regained?
I down my drink like its the holy fucking grail
Where's the virtue in taking sides with pain?
It's tragic, it's magic
How I came to believe
The things you said before I went to sleep

Trying to love you feels like making soup from bone
Trying to love you feels like drawing blood from stone
And in our separate rooms we crave, each other's praise
Can't you see we're both the cause and consequence

But I'm getting tired, yes I'm getting bored
Trying to find new ways for you, to love me more
I used to burn like fire, now I'm the afterglow
A love that makes us smaller
Is it love?

But I'm getting tired, yes I'm getting bored
Trying to find new ways for you, to love me more
I used to burn like fire, now I'm the afterglow
A love that makes us smaller
Is it love?
