Brandon Boyd - Blood On The Ground lyrics

[Chorus] I don't want to talk to you anymore I'm afraid of what I might say I bite my tongue every time you come around Because blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground [Verse 1] Hand over my heart; I swear I've tried everything I could within all my power Two weeks and one hour I slaved, and now I've got nothing to show Oh, if only you'd grow taller than a brick wall From now on I'm going to start holding my breath when you come around And you flex that fake grin, because something inside me has said more than twice That breathing less air beats breathing you in [Chorus] [Verse 2] Hand over my mouth, I'm earning the right to my silence In quiet, discerning between ego and timing Good judgment is once again proving to me That it's still worth it's weight in gold From now on I'm going to be so much more wary when you start to speak And my warm blood starts to boil Seeing you is like pulling teeth and hearing your voice is like Chewing tin foil [Chorus] [Outro] High fives to better judgment By saying less today, I will gain more Low twos to you my fickle friend You've brought the art of silent war
