Bloodflow lyrics

Her eyes are closed now that final breath is near

She lets go of my hand and I fall into a sea of tears

Search for the trail that we were both riding

Lost sometime ago

Now I'm stranded on the mountain's edge

And there's only one way back down...

And down I go

Into the ground where the bad seeds are sown

Take root and pull me further in

Long and long and longer it takes

Good luck's gone and there's no more breaks

Just the ground beneath that shakes and gives way

Swallowed up whole, there ain't much now I can pull

No stunt man surprises

Or Houdini-like disguises

For death defying escape

Avoid the tap on the shoulder

From that one in the long black cape

Just to see those eyes of hers shine

Is worth any sum or length of time

That would fill up that space

Where her love once flowed

But the more I resist

The further and further out I drift

Get swept out in the rip tide

Where part of me wants to lie

'neath the waves of sorrow and tears

Sink to the bottom and linger there

The rest of my tears

Walk amongst the mossy bones

Of my fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers

Feel their blood flow away
