Blood Red Blood

Lonely boy, where do we go
 I'm stuck believing in the other side
 stuck on my own
 run fast, you're dreaming
 no place to hide
 safety in things i'm dumb for thinking
 'cuz a piece of plastic
 is nothing more than a piece of plastic
 empty streets under my feet
 how did we get so far?
 from the general beat
 across that great
 held fast together in the dying day
 oh you are swimming inside the magic hour
 oh and when you wet your skin
 you can suck up all you need to know
 you can suck up all you need to know, oh oh
 picture me, how will you picture me when i am dead?
 all fast and free, building a fantasy with blocks in my head
 a legacy, do these things disapate in the years unread?
 i've got a pain just like a knife, and the time has left me
 oh i'm just trying to do my best
 i'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death
 build my love in the things i say
 you've gotta lift your face to the breaking day
 oh i'm just trying to do my best
 i'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death
 build my love in the things i say
 you've gotta lift your face to the breaking day
 so i ran and i jumped and i flew till i came to the center of
 an earth so cold
 and the wind picked me up and took me straight to the belly of
 the fears i hold
 and i ran and i ran and i ran and i ran
 then i came right back
 threw my arms around you,
 you were dressed in black,
 i'm so glad i found you
 for they burned my stuff,
 objects all around me
 memories outlast things,
 memories astound me
 to a fate like this
 keep your body down to the ground
 to the soil that we love so much
 i always wanted to return
 return to the place where i was born
 i always wanted to return
 and i ran and i ran and i ran
 oh i'm just trying to do my best
 i'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death
 build my love in the things i say
 you've gotta lift your face to the breaking day
 oh i'm just trying to do my best
 i'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death
 build my love in the things i say
 you've gotta lift your face to the breaking day
 because in time it leaves you,
 it leaves you like blood, red blood
 it leaves you like blood, red blood
 it leaves you like blood, red blood
 it leaves you like blood, red blood
