The Flatliners Follow

It all got away from me this morning
Disappeared under my skin
A ghost, a sober warning
I know I'm growing cold
But I've long since lost the warmth
That I'm longing for

I'll dig up every last one of my roots
Just to find they've rotted out
Turning us all to half truths
My heart is sinking quick
Without strength or skill
I'll dive right in after it

I'll drown in blood
I'll watch it cleanse my skin
Expend my body; weak, tired, frail
And start again
I'll drown in blood
I'll watch it cleanse my skin
Hold my breath no more
My lungs are wide open

Woah-oh

Broke it all to pieces
Bright and boring
Finally feel your sharpened teeth
Sink deep down into my skin
Left low in shambles, moan
Between hallow breathing in
My own Undertow

I'll drown in blood
I'll watch it cleanse my skin
Expend my body; weak, tired, frail
And start again
I'll drown in blood
I'll watch it cleanse my skin
Hold my breath no more
My lungs are wide open

If I'd have known you'd call my bluff
If I'd have known you'd call my bluff
(And maybe we'd die happy men)
These broken words are not enough
(And maybe we'd die happy men)
To kill the pain of my bad luck
(And maybe we'd die happy men)
If I'd have known you'd call my bluff
(And maybe we'd die happy!)

I'll drown in blood
I'll watch it cleanse my skin
Expend my body; weak, tired, frail
And start again
I'll drown in blood
I'll watch it cleanse my skin
Hold my breath no more
My lungs are wide open

If I'd have known you'd call my bluff
If I'd have known you'd call my bluff
