Bloodstain

Once dried you can never try and hide a bloodstain I swore it would never be the same again You said it doesn't look all that different to me Feet wet in the mudflats looking out past the estuary Call it distraction, call it despair No matter what you call it you can feel it when it's there Drifted on the low tide, now it's hell bent for to stay Lay my head down, quit this, set my rest to lay Once dried you can never try and hide a bloodstain I swore it would never be the same again You said it doesn't look all that different to me Feet wet in the mudflats looking out past the estuary As the setting sun fades the birds make their escape I hold shallow breaths in this slow beating chest It's not like I expected, where on earth is all the rest? Shark teeth that speak to me waiting in the depths Once dried you can never try and hide a bloodstain I swore it would never be the same again You said it doesn't look all that different to me Feet wet in the mudflats looking out past the estuary Standing alone out on a sand spit Cut off by the sea I didn't really mean to commit to this Still the water moves closer to me Once dried you can never try and hide a bloodstain I swore it would never be the same again You said it doesn't look all that different to me Feet wet in the mudflats looking out past the estuary
