Every Bloodline


Crawling on the ceiling tiles
Bugs scratching at my neck
With laboured breathing in and out
I can't sleep in my own bed

Drifting with the lights turned on
While this heart beats through my throat
It's sink or swim, I've had enough
Am I crazy? I don't know

Stuck inside myself again
With hope tied up in knots
It turns on each arrival date
As every bloodline clots

This bullshit is thicker than water
Our water will flood every thought
Defensive excuses to foster
As every last feeling gets lost

Hear the pressure screaming out
As these thoughts race through my head
So paranoid in darker rooms
From the phrases left unsaid

Each memory will turn when it's jaded
As we try coming back from the dead
Convinced that the sky is still falling
Crying wolf to the ghosts in your bed

Stuck inside myself again
With hope tied up in knots
It turns on each arrival date
As every bloodline clots
As every bloodline clots

Summer's dressed up in red they say
While this season has turned black and blue
Sitting on a sofa with some medical speak
For the lies that you'll always confuse
For the lives that have all been consumed
