Blood Clots and Black Holes

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 alright

No, it's not love

Though it feels like fire inside of your veins

Burning right beneath your 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

It's 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
