Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Blood’s for takin’ flesh, noxious smell of leather
Blood’s for seekin’ friends who don’t know any better
Like puzzle pieces, they’re all interlocked
Like a camel, a mile for you to walk
[Verse 2]
Now you’re movin’ along, singin’ this song
About your day there is a bad stench so strong
But what I didn’t know and he’s sure he means
Is that why go? Just to punish your sin?
[Verse 3]
Now you’re walkin’ tall, along the building jokers fall
The word design’s freakin’ all but the truth I find from here realizes
That it doesn’t make much difference after all that fightin’
