Bad Blood lyrics

You fixed your eyes on us

Your flesh and blood

Sculpture of water and unsettled dust

When there was bad blood in us

We learned our lesson

Genesis to the last generation

So we wrestle with it all

The concept of grace

The faithful concrete as it breaks our fall

Our questions are all the same

Identical words

How they feel brand new against different time frames

Identical words against different time frames

We know it all by heart

The whole is greater that the sum of its parts

We've heard it all before

In beauty there echoes a speck of our source

In beauty there echoes a speck of our source

Like firewood burning bright

In the dead of winter

By only a flicker we cling to this life

So we huddle over maps

Is it faith or prediction

Will or tradition

Until we collapse

We argue our bearings until we collapse

We studied our story arcs

Inherently good

Or were we broken right from the start?

Our hesitant fingerprints trace every mountain

Lace every valley until we're convinced

We know it all by heart

Every blade of grass bears our mark

In the name of being brave

Though it's just another word for being afraid

We know it all by heart

The whole is so much greater than the sum of its parts

We've heard the truth before

In beauty there echoes a speck of our source

In beauty there echoes a speck of our source

In beauty there echoes a speck of our source
