blood loss

my first love was an arsonist

black eyes

deep set and avarice

red lips built like a tomb

you'll never get out of this

and moonlight i found would bow

to her slender hand stretched out

fingers inside your heart and your mind

you'll never get out of this

boy. and i'll tell you when it's over

i'll tell you when you can leave

i'll tell you when you cried long enough

til your blood fills my cup

and my footsteps

they hung in your hallways enough

for you to be truly haunted

my first love was a murderer

before i ever got to her

tongue so sharp and serpentine

waltz to remember her

and i heard a curse being born

forming each finger and forming each thorn

til i became like a stone

things never got better

and practicing lies to drip like red wine off her lips

and i'll tell you when it's over

i'll tell you when you can leave

i'll tell you when you cried long enough

til your blood fills my cup

my footsteps

they hung in your hallways enough

for you to be truly haunted

and i'll tell you when it's over

i'll tell you when you can leave

i'll tell you when you cried long enough

til your blood fills my cup

my footsteps

they hung in your hallways enough

for you to be truly haunted

when your blood counts its losses

when your blood counts its losses

when your blood counts its losses

sirens they come and the sirens they leave

sirens they come and the sirens they leave

sirens they come and the sirens they leave

sirens they come and the sirens they leave
