THE SPILL CANVAS LYRICS - If I Could Write It In Blood

"If I Could Write It In Blood"



I found fountains of imagery that are passing

through me like a knife

From a group of friends that prefer to attack from the back

I'm trying to grasp concepts of your dimensions

While my universe is laced around your wrist

I am the bracelet you sport

I am everything (everything)

that you have ever missed, and more



I was hoping I could tell you this with two feet on the ground

But I don't think I can talk,

because I'm not very stable right now

Yeah (yeah)



In this dream that I had....

"You can't kill heroes"- that's what we said to them

"You can't kill us"

With our instruments broken before us

and the boys in the line they begin to count to five



And the trigger pulls

The bullets pepper (pepper) the brick wall behind our heads

and the smoke, it fills the air (smoke, it fills the air)

The captain yells to cease fire

and the squad begins to wait and stare

as the dust clears the air, and we're still standing

With smiles on both our faces

we spit their faulty ammo to the ground

and remind them once again

With smiles on both our faces

we spit their faulty ammo to the ground

and remind them once again

that you can't kill heroes



I was hoping I could tell you this with two feet on the ground

But I don't think I can talk,

because I'm not very stable right now

No, I'm not very stable right now, yeah

No, I'm not very stable right now
