Blood Clots and Black Holes Songtext
von Thrice

Here′s your new drug
Shoot it in the left eye
Feel it on the right side
No, it's not love
Though it sets up shop behind your ribcage
Building blood clots and black holes
Like using an axe to pull
A sliver from your skin

And they say this is medicine
An overdose of oxygen
A severed head
As sedative
To be at peace would be a sin
And surely un-American
I′m breaking


Here's your new blood
Transfusion took us all night
Tell us that you're all right
No, it′s not love
Though it feels like fire inside of your veins
Burning right beneath the wrist
Begging for a razor′s kiss
To free it from your skin

And they say this is medicine
An overdose of oxygen
A severed head
As sedative
To be at peace would be a sin
And surely un-American
I'm breaking down

Down
Down
Down
I′m breaking down

Lift the veil
It's not medicine
And my heart fails
Time and time again
