Vessel

He’s diluting my innocence but I really don’t mind

He keeps entering my maze in the hope that he’ll find

A vessel that is cleaner, or some blood that will dry

That muscle I keep under surveillance so I don’t cry

I keep my self and my skin and i try to get out

’til it all becomes apparent what it is you’re about

And that vessel it will open like a lung to the air

And til you go and hold your breath i’m left fighting for air

Like the liquid inside of a vessel i’ve got nowhere else to run

Like the memories inside of a photograph waiting impatiently to be exposed

But i’ve never been more true than i was with you on the phone

My baby’s made of blood

It’s a shame that i’m made of stone

Our bodies are temple but our minds are insane

We’re intent on injections that ease us from pain

Some wounds they never heal, it hurts but i’m ok

Just locate the appropriate vessel and wash it away

I keep my self and my skin and i try to get out

Til it all becomes apparent what it is you’re about

And that vessel it will open like a lung to the air

And til you go and hold your breath i’m left fighting for air

Like the liquid inside of a vessel i’ve got nowhere else to run

Like the memories inside of a photograph waiting impatiently to be exposed

But i’ve never been more true than i was with you on the phone

And my baby’s made of blood

It’s a shame that i’m made of stone

He’s diluting my innocence but I really don’t mind

He keeps entering my maze in the hope that he’ll find

A vessel that is cleaner, or some blood that will dry

I keep my self and my skin and i try to get out

Til it all becomes apparent what it is you’re about

And that vessel it will open like a lie to the air

And til you go and hold your breath

I’m left fighting for air

Like the liquid inside of a vessel i’ve got nowhere else to run

Like the memories inside of a photograph waiting impatiently to be exposed

But i’ve never been more true than i was with you on the phone

My baby’s made of blood
My baby’s made of blood
My baby’s made of blood

It’s a shame that i’m made of stone
