Bloodless
Coiled veins
Wrapped around like endless spirals
Eyes of glassy marbles
And hair of tangled chains
Arms of heavy iron
And a heart that isn’t going
It seems like your old tactless engine
Isn’t pulling any chains
Your clothes are just a riot
Your nose is made of plastic
Insides stuffed with Styrofoam
Light a match and you’re on fire
You’d love to drown in bloodlust
Ignore the life that’s moves past us
But now you’ve nothing left to defend
Admit the fact you’re bloodless
Wrapped around like endless spirals
Eyes of glassy marbles
And hair of tangled chains
Arms of heavy iron
And a heart that isn’t going
It seems like your old tactless engine
Isn’t pulling any chains
Your clothes are just a riot
Your nose is made of plastic
Insides stuffed with Styrofoam
Light a match and you’re on fire
You’d love to drown in bloodlust
Ignore the life that’s moves past us
But now you’ve nothing left to defend
Admit the fact you’re bloodless
