Bleeding a Stone - The Venetia Fair

Watch what you say!

'Cause I swear to god I’ll burn this whole thing to the ground

The luckiest vultures will choke on the ash while the rest lay down to starve

without a scrap

It was an electrical fire

And I can keep a story straight

If you’re gonna come for us

You’ll be bleeding a stone while it rolls down hill

And if I’m gonna fail at least allow me to blame it on myself

Watch how it plays!

I almost hope you’ll call my bluff and roll the dice

Like a snake eyes its prey you just watched for the chance to come slithering

beneath the smoke unscathed

It was an electrical fire

I’ll keep my story straight

A simple fraying of wires

I should’ve been more careful

Taste the soot on your tongue

It’s a blizzard of all the things I was scared I’d give up on

But I’d throw myself in the fire to snuff you out

If you’re gonna come for us

The bones will have already been picked clean

And your loneliness comforts us

If you’re gonna come for us

Search all you want there’ll be nothing left

And your loneliness comforts us

But you’ll never blame it on yourself

If I’m gonna fail, like you’re certain I will, at least let me blame it on

myself
