Lyrics

Blood in the Water

There’s blood in the water, it’s rushing all round me,
And the bitter in my mouth is all that I can be
The pressures building, and darkness swallows me whole
And the voice in my head says “no one else can know”, “no one else can know”, “no one else can know”
A flicker of madness, in a broken mind
As we just wander through life, looking for a sign, looking for a sign, looking for a sign

Elated, berated should have been sedated
Honest and modest and always the promised
But no one can outrun the flash of a loaded gun

Genetic, a sceptic and often poetic
Aurally pleasing and don’t mind the teasing
You know that she shuts her eyes and you’re not there

There’s blood in the water, it’s rushing all round me,
And the bitter in my mouth is all that I can be
The pressures building, and darkness swallows me whole
And the voice in my head says “no one else can know”, “no one else can know”, “no one else can know”
A flicker of madness, in a broken mind
As we just wander through life, looking for a sign, looking for a sign, looking for a sign
