[Verse 1]
Sever the ties, cut me out
Fill up the hole that I tried, and I tried, and I tried to fill
Oh, but I lied, and I'll lie at will
Just to keep your feet off the floor, and to keep my wolves from your door

[Chorus]
Forgive me for I am not acting myself
But these bees in my breath have to come out
Well, you give me no reason to doubt your word
But I still somehow still have my reasons
I'm sorry, I don't mean to scare you at all
I'm just trying to drain all this bad blood
All this bad blood, all my bad blood

[Verse 2]
Well, I'll slash the tyres, and I'll lock the door
So no one gets out, but there's a rupture to the structure of this house that we built
And I fucked it, yeah, I fucked it, and I fucked it until
Those wolves, they took all they could

[Chorus]
Forgive me for I am not acting myself
But these bees in my breath have to come out
Well, you give me no reason to doubt your word
But I still somehow, I still have my reasons
I'm sorry, I don't mean to scare you at all
I'm just trying to drain all this bad blood
All this bad blood, all my bad blood
All my bad blood, all my bad blood
All my bad blood
[Outro]
As I walk down the road of old Saint Augustine
I recall a choir singing in some orchard
Well, the tighter you hold, yeah, they're still gonna go
Until all you remember is the courtship
Well I know I was far from perfect, but I
Was just dying to drain all my bad blood
All my bad blood, all my bad blood
