Blood From A Stone Lyrics

Blood From A Stone lyrics

It's as if we're tracing some familiar faultline
Running down the coast
from you to me
Dark potential just beneath the surface
All the worlds
colliding in the tragedy
Blood from a stone, wine from water
I'd die
here alone, only daughter
Blood from a stone, wine from water
I'd die
here alone, like a lamb to slaughter
Silence has become our only
currency
You pay me and I'll be sure to pay you back
But step lightly
til you've crossed the jagged border
'cause the earth may shift beneath
you, pull the rug out
All your history keeping track
Blood from a
stone, wine from water
I'd die here alone, only daughter
Blood from a
stone, wine from water
I'd die here alone, like a lamb to slaughter
I'll reel in my addictions in the face of your distress
Aches and pains
all shelved and put aside
I'll jump to my conclusions, but I'll leap to
your defense
And I'll wish I were the brave one as I lead another life
'Cause it runs in the family, it's coursing through our veins
It lingers
and gets caught in our hearts
Running in the family, it's a little like
insane
The trimmings and the trappings of the artist and the art
Blood from a stone, wine from water
I'd die here alone, only daughter
Blood from a stone, wine from water
I'd die here alone, like a lamb to
slaughter--
