The Blood Runs Thick

Title: The blood runs thick

[Intro] Every ounce, every pound
Every pain, every gain
Every loss, every toss
Weight

On the verge of obscenity, draw the knife
Bulimia, cutting, so many ways to take a life
Go on, sink the razor in deep, end it as easy as 1-2-3
Because you weren't made to live life as good as me

You've hit rock bottom and it's never gonna end
Any trust you've gained, you've lost, the pain ain't gonna mend
Sexual preference, religion, acceptance
So many reasons to take a life with such sweet assurance

What? What's that, you aim the knife toward me?
I was just trying to lead you on, the road you're gonna lead
To end the suffering, the misery, just to mend the pain
Everyone else has done it, every loss you gain

You start to slash my throat and the cut is deep
Just as I about to squeal, the fluids 'bout to leak
My neck is swollen and there's nothing left to fix
The knife falls to the floor and the blood runs thick

(Chorus)

You hear the cries of everyone in sight
Why can't you just end this impending fight
Fight the fight and come out strong
Because you deserved a beautiful life all along

If nobody loved you why are you
So beautiful in everything you do
The little bumps in the road are just a blessing
And for every good, it's such a reward, so riveting

Don't let the blood run thick
Don't let the blood run thick

If you think you're all alone, let me tell you that I've felt this way
The thought of pain evaporating like the water from the pave
Let's be honest with ourselves, we've all contemplating this thought
So you're not enclosed in your own nightmare, this is what we've fought

Life can be dark, so ominous of a look, with the corner of your eye
But your eye can also see, a road for tomorrow, you can see the light
But you have to choose what you want to see
The life with potential or a nightmare turns into reality

The fight that you're involved in wants to give up easily
So keep slashing me like you did in the beginning
My name is fear, but I go by another name
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, my other name is fate

You start to slash my throat and the cut is deep
Just as I about to squeal, the fluids 'bout to leak
My neck is swollen and there's nothing left to fix
The knife falls to the floor and the blood runs thick

(Chorus)

To you, you're just yourself, but to someone, you're a son or daughter
From another time, you're a somebody's grandson or granddaughter
In the future generation, you're gonna be someone's mother or father
For every interaction, there's a chain reaction, one life is enough to bother

To bother the chain because of such a move
Do you think the world is going to stop because of you
Everything just keeps going on and soon you'll be forgotten
Why don't you stay fresh before you're rotten

Once you choose to make such a decision, you can't take it back and
Once you're on the floor squealing, screamin' and gaggin'
That's it, in a click of a minute, you're life's just shunned
Life is no WWE, once life flashes you before you're eyes, you're round is done

You start to slash my throat and the cut is deep
Just as I about to squeal, the fluids 'bout to leak
My neck is swollen and there's nothing left to fix
The knife falls to the floor and the blood runs thick

(Chorus)

Don't let the blood run thick
Don't let the blood run thick
