Cold Blood

Drowning in desperation
Wide eyes, burning red
Taken by disconnected lust
Feed, choke, despise
They prey upon us
Our death of self-restraint
Maggots inhaling praise
Make low my high

Torn apart, all alone
Sacred heart, made of stone

Can't stay above
Can't take enough
Soul depleting love
Hollow and black
Just like the ash
Running through my blood
Cold blood
Cold blood
Cold blood

Vacant in motivation
White hearts and hollow words
Dying to validate your debt
Lost souls in rise
No separation
No affirming word
Righteous refusal of decay
Burn through your lies

Torn apart, all alone
Sacred heart, made of stone

Can't stay above
Can't take enough
Soul depleting love
Hollow and black
Just like the ash
Running through my blood

Your contribution
A desperate display of brokenness
It's all the same now
Same paper crown by lesser means
The flower dies in time
And when it dies there's nothing left
Wear shame
A legacy tonight for hollow gain

Can't stay above
Can't take enough
Soul depleting love
Hollow and black
Just like the ash
Running through my blood

Can't stay above
Can't take enough
Soul depleting love
Hollow and black
Just like the ash
Running through my blood
Cold blood
Cold blood
Cold blood

Blood
Cold blood
Cold blood
Cold blood
Blood
Cold blood
Cold blood
