Bleeding a Stone
Watch what you say!
'Cause I swear to god I'll burn this whole thing to the ground
The luckiest vultures will choke on the ash while the rest lay down to starve without a scrap
It was an electrical fire
And I can keep a story straight
If you're gonna come for us
You'll be bleeding a stone while it rolls down hill
and if I'm gonna fail at least allow me to blame it on myself
Watch how it plays!
I almost hope you'll call my bluff and roll the dice
Like a snake eyes its prey you just watched for the chance to come slithering beneath the smoke unscathed
It was an electrical fire
I'll keep my story straight
A simple fraying of wires
I should've been more careful
Taste the soot on your tongue
It's a blizzard of all the things I was scared I'd give up on
But I'd throw myself in the fire to snuff you out.
If you're gonna come for us
The bones will have already been picked clean
And your loneliness comforts us
If you're gonna come for us
Search all you want there'll be nothing left
And your loneliness comforts us
But you'll never blame it on yourself
If I'm gonna fail, like you're certain I will, at least let me blame it on myself.
'Cause I swear to god I'll burn this whole thing to the ground
The luckiest vultures will choke on the ash while the rest lay down to starve without a scrap
It was an electrical fire
And I can keep a story straight
If you're gonna come for us
You'll be bleeding a stone while it rolls down hill
and if I'm gonna fail at least allow me to blame it on myself
Watch how it plays!
I almost hope you'll call my bluff and roll the dice
Like a snake eyes its prey you just watched for the chance to come slithering beneath the smoke unscathed
It was an electrical fire
I'll keep my story straight
A simple fraying of wires
I should've been more careful
Taste the soot on your tongue
It's a blizzard of all the things I was scared I'd give up on
But I'd throw myself in the fire to snuff you out.
If you're gonna come for us
The bones will have already been picked clean
And your loneliness comforts us
If you're gonna come for us
Search all you want there'll be nothing left
And your loneliness comforts us
But you'll never blame it on yourself
If I'm gonna fail, like you're certain I will, at least let me blame it on myself.
