lyrics

she's got a window,
it's got a small frame,
she's got a view,
of what she always sees,
what she believes is there,
but there's blood in the basement,
blood in the alley,
there's blood on her hands,
she cant see.

he's got mirror,
a crack in his door,
he peers through to see,
the world is ugly,
but theres nothing he can do about it.

the hole in the roof,
these crumbling walls,
this house is falling apart,
theres nothing we can do,
nothing we can do.

if theres blood in the basement,
blood in the alley,
theres blood on our hands,
we can't see.

no I cant see,
no its not safe,
and no Im not proud of this blood.

there's heat in my mouth,
there's blood in my veins,
my love.

there's heat in my mouth,
blood in my veins,
my love.

oh there's heat in my mouth,
there's blood in my veins,
my love.
