I Want My Blood Back - 01/16/18

I want my blood back

I've been feeling like a heart attack
got these grey eyes lined with black
hearing nothing but the buzz of feedback
crashing better than a Cadillac

I want my blood back

Get me off these shifting sands
shattered moments clutched in sweaty hands
words and shadows filling up wastelands
catch the memory and the wound expands

I want my blood back

Lightning beats and paper veins
somehow traveling through these hurricanes
that wind howls, it bites, it strains,
sleep it off but the pain remains

I want my blood back

I want my tears back
I want this year back
I want my time back
to take these rhymes back
I want
my heart beat
my sleep schedule
new sheets
my potential
steady hands
a hopeful heart
louder bands
a fresh start

I want my blood back
