Clouds are spreading like bruises on the evening sky I walk the streets alone again tonight It starts to rain still I search each passing face Blood is blood and blood don't wash away Blood is blood and blood don't wash away When I was a child They told me, she loved you too much She didn't keep me 'cause my mother Loved me too much She left without a trail She didn't leave a trace Blood is blood and blood don't wash away Blood is blood and blood don't wash away I got a heart that ripped I got a sound that's torn I got a hole in me like I was never born Blood is thicker than water blood is bound by God I don't know who I am I don't know who I'm not I don't know my name I can't find my place Blood is blood and blood don't wash away Blood is blood and blood don't wash away
