Bloodshot
She walks to the mailbox each morning at nine
Every day she begins she's always one day behind
At least when it comes to the mail
She sits on the balcony paying the bills
Her letters just ashing her cigarettes onto the sill
Every breath a little more pale
The hill still left to climb is just so
High and I'm so tired
Come on, look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on fire
It's just so high and I'm so tired
Come on, look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on
He sits in his basement from midnight 'til four
Painting pictures that nobody sees from his days in the war
Canvases bathed in bright red
He heats up the shower, he paces the hall
He'll scrub for an hour or more
But he won't get it all
Paint in his fingernail beds
The hill still left to climb is just so
High and I'm so tired
Come on, look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on fire
It's just so high and I'm so tired
Come on, look up at the bloodshot sky
The clouds are all on
Fire, the clouds are all on
On fire, the clouds are all on
We wait in valleys while the clouds come in
We see no shadows 'cause a shadow's all there is
And we climb and we climb
But it's just so
High and I'm so tired
Come on, look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on fire
It's just so high and I'm so tired
Come on, look up at the bloodshot sky
The clouds are all on
Fire, the clouds are all on
Fire, the clouds are all on, clouds are all on
Fire, the clouds are all on fire
Every day she begins she's always one day behind
At least when it comes to the mail
She sits on the balcony paying the bills
Her letters just ashing her cigarettes onto the sill
Every breath a little more pale
The hill still left to climb is just so
High and I'm so tired
Come on, look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on fire
It's just so high and I'm so tired
Come on, look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on
He sits in his basement from midnight 'til four
Painting pictures that nobody sees from his days in the war
Canvases bathed in bright red
He heats up the shower, he paces the hall
He'll scrub for an hour or more
But he won't get it all
Paint in his fingernail beds
The hill still left to climb is just so
High and I'm so tired
Come on, look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on fire
It's just so high and I'm so tired
Come on, look up at the bloodshot sky
The clouds are all on
Fire, the clouds are all on
On fire, the clouds are all on
We wait in valleys while the clouds come in
We see no shadows 'cause a shadow's all there is
And we climb and we climb
But it's just so
High and I'm so tired
Come on, look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on fire
It's just so high and I'm so tired
Come on, look up at the bloodshot sky
The clouds are all on
Fire, the clouds are all on
Fire, the clouds are all on, clouds are all on
Fire, the clouds are all on fire
