Blood Is Black
[Verse One]
Well, there I was, just laughing with a plastic cup in my hand
Filled to the brim with squash and juice
'Cause I needed a distraction so I wouldn't be damned
To wondering of life, what's the use?
You came over, you said, "Hey, c'mon, c'mon"
Didn't wanna say no so I took my go, yeah
[Pre-Chorus 1]
First you screamed, but it made you lose your balance
So you stopped and picked my bleeding heart up off the gravel
Then I screamed, yeah, baby, I never been patient
But I stopped and picked your shaky soul up off the ravel
[Chorus 1]
Our blood is black, we can't see straight
Our hearts so pure white, but our minds can't listen
This blood is black, the heroes too late
Melted candles, you can't light, you hurt me, I hurt you
The blood is black, no retaliate
[Verse Two]
My tears are blue as a cry on the cafe counter so loud
I'm their movie, I know I am
Some say, "Girl, it's called karma", others say, "Hush, it'll be OK"
And some say, "Bitch, don't like your play" (Hey, I don't either)
I say, "He came over, he said, 'Hey, c'mon'
Didn't wanna stir hurt so I took my turn, yeah"
But this game is Monopoly
Never settle it properly
[Pre-Chorus 2]
First he screamed, but it made him lose his balance
So he stopped and picked my bleeding heart up off the gravel, gravel, gravel
Oh, I scream, oh, no, I never been patient
And lately, I think I'm gonna fall down and unravel, ravel, ravel
[Chorus 2]
Our blood is black, we can't see straight
Our hearts so pure white, but our minds can't listen
This blood is black, the heroes too late
Melted candles, you can't light, he hurts me, I hurt him
The blood is black, no retaliate
[Bridge]
Roses are black, violets are grey
Blood is back and I'm gonna pay
Sweet sugar is what it is
And sugar's white so AOK
Blood is black and hearts are faint
Veins are lilac and skin is green
Lungs are filled and skeleton broke
Brain is burning, I've caused a scene
[Chorus 1]
'Cause our blood is black, we can't see straight
Our hearts so pure white, but our minds can't listen
This blood is black, the heroes too late
Melted candles, you can't light, you hurt me, I hurt you
The blood is black, no retaliate
Well, there I was, just laughing with a plastic cup in my hand
Filled to the brim with squash and juice
'Cause I needed a distraction so I wouldn't be damned
To wondering of life, what's the use?
You came over, you said, "Hey, c'mon, c'mon"
Didn't wanna say no so I took my go, yeah

Our blood is black, we can't see straight
Our hearts so pure white, but our minds can't listen
This blood is black, the heroes too late
Melted candles, you can't light, you hurt me, I hurt you
The blood is black, no retaliate
