The Blood

by Vermilion   May 12, 2013


I'm just an enigma
Blowing in the wind
Your cutting is a stigma
So bring this to an end

Let the blood stop pouring out
All over the floor
And let me tell you about
How there's something more

Life is not about just bleeding by
And life is not about just causing pain
Don't let the blood pour out, and don't you cry
Don't let yourself drown in the rain

Take my hand and let me save you from this
Don't keep pushing it away
Do you need a hug or a promise?
'Cause right now neither of us is okay

Footprints in the sand
Leaving a red trail
Will this ship ever land?
Will love pass or fail?

And both of us are hurting now
Please let this finally cease
'Cause time is running out
To regain former peace

Life is not about hurting yourself
And life is not about a bloody knife
If you need to, send me to Hell
If it can save your life

Do you even know that I love you?
You say you do but I'm not really sure
If anything you say is really true
Come on, you know there's something more

A sentimental moment
Of spiritual lies
This will end soon, now, won't it?
I just can't let you die

Please don't give up
Yeah, please hang on
You thought that you were done
But you were so wrong

Because love has said no and stands its ground
And love is going to triumph
Don't let go, you can be unbound
Isn't love enough?

I'll lend a helping hand that won't let go
I'll catch you if you fall
I beg you, please tell me if it's so:
Will you end up dead after all?

Yeah, let the blood stop pouring out
Bring yourself back from the dead
Your fear is just a clout
Struck upon hope's head

Please let me restore your hope
All you have to do is try
Now, please let me show you the ropes
Of learning to not die

'Cause life is something more...
And love is at the door...
Will you make peace or will you war?
And why must you find pleasure in your own gore?
