lyrics

Blood is blind
It sneaks in from the side
It chooses a bride out of mind
Over time
Blood is blind

Blood is not wrong
Or kind
Blood is a boundless
Breathing bond
It'll take you to
Where you belong

Blood is blind
Fresh clear water or
Dark red wine
All of the time
Blood is blind

Blood ain't love
But it'll take you there
To the mountain air
Oh yeah
Blood ain't love
But it'll strangle you
Through the thick black veils
Of a glove

Blood ain’t the thinking (naa, naa)
Blood ain’t the beauty (naa, naa)
Blood ain’t the heartbreak (blah, blah, blah)
Blood ain’t the duty (ha, ha, ha)
Blood’s the journey (ya ya)
Blood’s the instinct (ya ya)
Blood is the God of you

The One to Believe in

Blood is what you are
It’s what you cannot escape
It’s what you try to transfuse and lose
The strange madness of your family you hate.

I drank yours, girl, and you drank mine
Try to forget ourselves
For a short time
For a short and very dry time
But within us is an ocean
Of what we are
