Settle down
This won’t last long
I’ve been out
And I want back in
So why not completely fade away
When my bones begin to break
And my head begins to shake
It’s my own blood
When my house becomes a cage
And the neighbours turn away
It’s my own blood
Settle down
This won’t last long
I’ve been out
And I want back in
So why not completely fade away
“Where the butcher’s hand is homeâ€
Laughs the blade above the throne
“It’s my own bloodâ€
“Oh, this apple makes me sickâ€
Cries the pig upon his stick
“It’s my own bloodâ€
And I can’t forget the taste
Can’t forget the taste of my own tongue
And I can’t forget the taste
Can’t forget the taste of my own tongue
And If I had a heart
I’d waste it on you
But it’s all together far too long
Since I took you down
Settle down
This won’t last long
I’ve been out
And I want back in
So why not completely fade away
When we’ve licked all of the lips
And the salt-stained fingertips
It’s our own blood
When our lambs and lions made
Debts no righteous man can pay
It’s our own blood
And I can’t forget the taste
Can’t forget the taste of my own tongue
And I can’t forget the taste
Can’t forget the taste of my own tongue
