lyrics

One more chance to dive right in and swim where the danger lurks
One more war to make things right - anything to make it work
Cutting and scraping through flesh and bone to stop the heart that beats deep in me
Now that you've left me all alone my wounds can finally bleed

And I’ve got blood on my hands - got this blood on my hands - And it won’t wash away
I’ve got blood on my hands - got blood on my hands - And it’s here to stay

You've got me backed in the corner now there's nothing I can do
I can try to pretend that I’m never going to lose my faith in you
Desperate - there's no way out - this vicious tongue unfurls
I'd lay down my life for a moment of peace in this world

And I’ve got blood on my hands - got blood on my hands - And it won’t wash away
I’ve got blood on my hands - got blood on my hands - And it’s here to stay
I’ve got blood on my hands - I’ve got blood on my hands - And it won’t wash away
I’ve got blood on my hands - I’ve got blood on my hands - And it’s here to stay

When all of the world has washed away
I'll still look for you beneath the gray
While the image of your scars will never fade
They're proof that you survived your yesterday

I feel the blood running through my hands
And I feel the warmth just beneath my skin
You said afterwards that we'd stay friends
If only I could find peace once again
But I've got blood on my hands again

I've got blood on my hands again
You draw Blood - I bleed Peace - we make amends
I've got blood on my hands I've got blood on my hands again
You draw Blood - I bleed Peace - we make amends
We both knew how this would end

You bled our love away
