Blood

Was there once something so pure

It left me whole and precious?

But now, broken, wondering

Why this new ingredient?

Everything I crave, I become

Everything I loved, forgotten

Everything I loathe, I become

Is that what happens when you reach the bottom?

Where does the blood go?

It runs away from broken love

Where does the blood go?

It runs away from broken love

There's an ugly crowd inside me

They specialise in violation

Once they numbered only a handful

Grew out of the ashes of what we'd had good

There'll be another awkward scene tonight

As we choose to ignore the obvious

Quickly averting our eyes

When we see what there is left of it

Where does the blood go?

It runs away from broken love

Where does the blood go?

It runs away from broken love

Our love hangs here beside us

From its feet, twitching, desperate

It used to splash your white boots

Now they're matted and congealed

There'll be another ugly scene tonight

As we refuse to accept the obvious

We panic and jump up and down

Trying to suck those last breaths

Where does the blood go?

It runs away from broken love

Where does the blood go?

It runs away from broken love
