Bloody Veins

Red marks on my cuffs I came home stained You said don’t touch But I did anyway Your name on my tongue Like a cut too deep I taste that ruin When I try to sleep Now it’s crawling up From my hands to my throat I keep pulling back But I never let go Bloody veins, bloody veins Run my name through the pain Bloody veins, bloody veins You’re still under my skin Bloody veins, bloody veins I can’t wash you away Bloody veins, bloody veins Till the whole thing breaks I saw you in glass In the sink, in the floor Every little crack Keeps on asking for more I tell myself stop I tell myself run But the truth of it is You’re the wound and the drug Now it’s crawling up From my hands to my throat I keep pulling back But I never let go Bloody veins, bloody veins Run my name through the pain Bloody veins, bloody veins You’re still under my skin Bloody veins, bloody veins I can’t wash you away Bloody veins, bloody veins Till the whole thing breaks If I cut out the ache Would I still be me? If I lock up the door Would you still find me? Bloody veins, bloody veins Run my name through the pain Bloody veins, bloody veins You’re still under my skin Bloody veins, bloody veins I can’t wash you away Bloody veins, bloody veins Till the whole thing breaks
