There Must Be More Than Blood

I saw, I saw, I saw, I saw, I saw, I saw I saw, I saw I saw, I saw you, I saw you On the magazine cover, with your Blue, wide eyes Read it from cover to cover Looking for ya But these are not my people here I think you know that Nervous like a wild dog Waiting for the attack I was living in the delta Wasting most of my time You know if I could close the blinds right I could sleep all through the night But I've seen the tides are rising Where once there was a shore I can still remember houses Stripped to the floor There must be more than blood That holds us together There must be more than wind That takes us away There must be more than tears When they pull back the curtain Of this much I'm certain When you're down for a while, trying to get dried out You feel the time pass by but you don't look around When you're out for a while, trying to get dried out You feel the time pass by but you don't look around You were playing your music but you got drowned out You go back to the old house but you've been locked out And it wasn't for love that you went back home It was the guilt in your throat like you swallowed a bone They had all of your life to get it right They had all of that time just to change their minds And you're grateful for the bus, it's a place to sit down Like a spider in the winter trying not to be found No use trying to heal when you're getting stepped on No use selling your soul when you're getting passed on How could they treat you like a forgotten card? Dear dad, I'm sorry Thank you very much What difference does it make when they throw you away? Is anybody ever gonna hear what you had to say? I was flying on a redeye My hand dropped to the aisle I could see myself clearly For the first time in a while There was nothing but lines Nothing but outlines My gut sank like a stone But I heard another voice say "We all walk alone" There must be more than blood That holds us together There must be more than wind That takes us away There must be more than tears When they pull back the curtain There must be more than fear Oh, there must be more than blood That holds us together There must be more than wind That takes us away There must be more than tears When they pull back the curtain There must be more than fear There must be more, there must be more, there must be Must be more, there must be more, there must be There must be more, there must be more, there must be
