Beyond Blue

The skin I have earned

on the edge I have made

of my eyes see the worth

touches tears in my mind

as the skin I have earned

on the edge I have made

of my hands that I feel

touches tears in my mind

and it grows (and it grows)

and it grows (and it grows)

and it grows (and it grows)

until all of the blood that

you have given to me

been sucked through a straw

inside me into you

until all of the blood that

you know I don't know

what it means in the end

to be dirty or too clean

and free from release

 

to dust from the dirt

on the front not the back

of my shirt with the stain

touches tears in my mind

as the dust from the dirt

on the front not the back

of my chest with the scars

touches tears in my mind

and it knows (and it knows)

and it knows (and it knows)

and it knows (and it knows)

until all of the blood that

you've been give me you

dropped dead by the warmth

in my name that is me

until all of the blood that

you go where I'm not

to the time if there is

where the love that stings

cosmos is oblivion

 

the blood beyond blue

on my neck that you kissed

from the sun and the moon

touches tears in my mind

as the blood beyond blue

on my wrist that you kissed

from the moon and the sun

touches tears from my mind

and it goes (and it goes)

and it goes (and it goes)

and it goes (and it goes)

until all of the blood that

you turn as I'm standing

cold as the earth in you

ice on me flowing over

until all of the blood that

you throw for the time

all your lies create eyes

and beliefs to be free

out to sea you were me
