Lyrics Blood Wine - Above, Below

Blood Wine

We live as we dream
So alone
So alone
Taking rich sips from a glass of blood wine
From within the veins of a heart of darkness
I am confined
I fell from grace just to miss the arms waiting to catch me
I slipped through time and egressed into a forlorn ethos
The lotus I dream is now drenched in rain
No longer of its opulent purple stain
No longer of its opulent purple stain
(Wake up)
Wake up
Wake up
Is this but a dream?
Liquidated melancholy flowing inside of me
Pinching at my skin, but still loyal to the nightmare that I’m stuck in
Writing scriptures of hatred about the ones I love
How is this the person that I’ve become?
(What have I become?)
I learned to mourn when I learned to love
A fragile gift on the wings of a dove
The sun is cold forevermore (forevermore)
I learned to mourn when I learned to love
A fragile gift on the wings of a dove
The sun is cold forevermore
Forevermore
It is foolish to resist the kiss of death
You swore
You swore
I was comfortably numb
Break my heart for I held my tongue
I trudged through crimson isles
In constant envy of your bleeding smiles
And I’ll never forgive myself for those futile desires
I was dying of thirst, and you fed me salt
Now the flowers you returned, once vibrant, now rot
You’re just a fucking snake
Spitting words of venom
Infecting those you love
Enraging those who hate you
You’re toxic and alone
You sit upon a serpents throne
But it’s my greatest shame
I’m exactly the same
A willful player in this devils game
I learned to mourn when I learned to love
A fragile gift on the wings of a dove
The sun is cold forevermore (forevermore)
We fell apart when we fell in love
Two fragile souls dipped in a glass of blood
The sun is cold forevermore
Forevermore
