How dare you ever speak of love
Open yourself up
Show your heart to us
We need proof so let us see
Is it beating?
We've got to see it beat
Is it beating?
Blood don't bother us

Something inside animates
It festers, oozes poison hate
We cut it out but way too late
A wretch that can't be saved
Something inside animates
We've laid our hands and we've all prayed
How dare you speak of love
With a heart so shriveled up

We're washed in blood, it don't bother us
We're washed in blood, it don't bother us
How dare you speak of love
With a heart so shriveled up

My heart is all that I've got
But I wouldn't give it a second thought
I won't open now I'm weak
Reach inside into me to feel my heart beating
Something inside animates
It festers, oozes poison hate
We cut it out but way too late
A wretch that can't be saved
Something inside animates
We've laid our hands and we've all prayed
How dare you speak of love
With a heart so shriveled up

Scrub me into blood
No reason left to scream
Bloodshot and wide awake

White knuckled pillowcase
The cleanliness you chase
Washed in the blood

My heart is all that I've got
My heart is all that I've got
But I wouldn't give it a second thought
I won't open now I'm weak
Reach inside into me to feel my heart beating

We're washed in blood, it don't bother us
We're washed in blood, it don't bother us
How dare you speak of love
Washed in the blood
With a heart so shriveled up
Something inside animates
How dare you speak of love
With a heart so shriveled up
