Recent Songs: Blood Can't Always Win

Blood Can't Always Win

You can’t keep on
Keeping on
The things you’re doing are doing you in
You’re pushing tungsten
Against the rough
But you’re not diamond
No, you’re made of softer stuff
And time…
You have heard it all before
Time and time again
Time will always win

But man, I’m more alive dying than I’ve ever felt in my life
You said, I’m more alive dying than I’ve ever felt in my life
Woe!
Sad song
Blah, blah, blah!
Sad songs
Blah, blah, blah!
Yeah, blah, blah, blah!

You can say that
You can cut a smile
You can still cut a rug for a little while
But you’re grinding down
Pulling your own petals off
You love yourself - you love yourself not
Killing yourself over a dull love
And time…
Tick-ticking of the IV drip
Eating all the fortune cookies
Without reading the fortunes

But man, I’m more alive dying than I’ve ever felt in my life
You said, I’m more alive dying than I’ve ever felt in my life
Woe!
Sad songs
Blah, blah, blah!
Girl, you're a sad song
Blah, blah, blah!
Yeah, blah, blah, blah!
Blah, blah, blah!
Blah, blah, blah!

You can’t keep on
Keeping on
The things you’re doing are doing you in
You’re pumping bargains
And not facing facts
You’ve long left the crossroads
Slow train going down the tracks
And blood…
Tick-ticking of the IV drip
Time and time again
But blood can’t always win

But man, I’m more alive dying than I’ve ever felt in my life
You said, I’m more alive dying than I’ve ever felt in my life
My life… woe!
Sad song
Blah, blah, blah!
Sad songs
Blah, blah, blah!
Yeah, blah, blah, blah!
Blah, blah, blah!
Blah, blah, blah!
