These Veins - Clowns

Well, I told a lie today

I didn’t want to, but it’s better this way

I swear to God that I’ll try and make it better soon

Cos in this interlude in my life

I’m struggling to know what’s real

Other than stupidity’s my cancer and unfortunately I’m terminal

Now I’ve got bad blood

So here’s that karma that I was owed

A shock to the system that keeps me afloat

Knew it was coming, but I didn’t think so soon

We wanna ruin our lives

There’s nothing better to do

But after all this I’ve put myself through

I’ve got bad blood

Running through these veins (Running through these veins)

Too many false warnings from the failed test

Now sitting in my self-inflicted mess

I got bad blood running through these veins

Unconscious here to the public and their judging eyes

Your familiar voice brings me back to it

And all I can say is I didn’t want to gather dust on the shelf

While I was searching for the most fun ways for me to end myself

We wanna ruin our lives

There’s nothing better to do

But after all this I’ve put myself through

I’ve got bad blood

Running through these veins (Running through these veins)

All these messed up nights and useless days

Now the only thing to show for the fault in my ways

Is I got bad blood running through these, oh, veins

I think I’ve come to a realisation

Through this wave of munt and hallucination

It’s that if I don’t ease on the acceleration

I’m gonna lose control and take people out with me

It’s easy in this life to forget that we’re mortal

And that we’re here for a fraction of a blink of time too

We’ve all been spoiled with the gift of life and if you can’t appreciate it

don’t worry you’ll be gone soon

I’m trying hard to make myself worth something but I always seem to make myself

less than I am

So fucken oath I’ll sleep with my demons cos I don’t wanna see your face again

Well I got bad blood running through these veins

Running through these veins

Cause I got bad blood

Cause I got bad blood

Running through these veins

We wanna ruin our lives

There’s nothing better to do

But after all this I’ve put myself through

I’ve got bad blood

Running through these veins
