Salt the wound

Verse 1

Breathe

Heavy lungs

Muddy boots upon the floor

Left the screen door swinging wide

Open

Empty

Hollowed out like a dry gourd

You said you wanted more

Chorus

But I gave you my blood

I gave you my blood

And I gave you my blood

I am running dry

I am running dry

I am running dry

Post-Chorus

Running dry

Oh

Dry

Ooh

Verse 2

Stains

Coffee rings

Bitter taste of silver spoons

Copper on my tongue tonight

Gone

Ghost

Gray shadows in the kitchen

Salt for every single wound

Old

Cold

A winter heart in June

Chorus

But I gave you my blood

I gave you my blood

And I gave you my blood

I am running dry

I am running dry

I am running dry

Bridge

Cut the cord

Cut the ties

Cut the tether

I walked the line

I walked the wire

I walked the fire

Is it ever enough

Is it ever enough

Chorus

I gave you my blood

I gave you my blood

I gave you my blood

I am running dry

I am running dry

I am running dry

Post-Chorus

Running dry

Oh

Dry

Ooh

Outro

Gone

Just gone

Dust on the shelf

Nothing left

For myself

Not for you

No more blood
