Was there once something so pure
That left me whole and precious?
But now, broken, wondering
Why this new ingredient?Everything I crave I become
Everything I left forgotten
Everything I love I become
'Cause [Incomprehensible] happens when you reach the bottomWhere does the blood go?
It runs away from broken lives
Where does the blood go?
It runs away from broken livesThere's an ugly crowd here beside me
They specialize in violations
Once they numbered only a handful
Grew out the ashes of what we had goodThere'll be another awkward scene tonight
As we chose to ignore the obvious
Quickly averting our eyes
When we see what there is left ofWhere does the blood go?
It runs away from broken lives
Where does the blood go?
It runs away from broken livesOur love hangs here beside us
From its feet, twitching, desperate
The juice that splash our white boots
Now they're matted and confusedThere'll be another ugly scene tonight
As we refuse to accept the obvious
We panic and jump up and down
Trying to suck those last breathsWhere does the blood go?
It runs away from broken lives
Where does the blood go?
It runs away from broken lives
