Blood and Stone

Blood's thick as dirt
Hard as steel
Raised on a fist
Taught not to feel
Love's a curse
That don't let go
Bound by roots
Buried deep below

They call it love
But it cuts like stone
A heart on fire
Left cold and alone

Blood and stone
Deep to the bone
Love like a bruise
That chills to the soul
Held by a chain
I can't see, can't break
Pulled to a past
I can't escape

Walked through fire
Scarred by hands
Shadows grow darker
Where I stand
Love built on hurt
Laid out in scars
Turns me to ashes
Leaves me charred

You hold me tight
But it ain't warm
This kind of love
Feels more like a storm

Blood and stone
Deep to the bone
Love like a bruise
That chills to the soul
Held by a chain
I can't see, can't break
Pulled to a past
I can't escape

Sometimes I dream
Of breaking free
Of peace beyond
This family tree
But blood don't crack
And stone don't bleed
In every bruise
I see the seed

Blood and stone
Deep to the bone
A fire that scorches
But I can't disown
Held by a chain
Can't see, can't break
Still bound to the pain
I hate to take

Blood and stone
Locked in my bones
Buried in shadows
I call my own
