Saltwater for Blood

I wish I never heard the things you said before you said what you meant

You fell apart with a broken heart breaking another won't make it mend

If you had to hide your scars to love him

Maybe he didn't love you back

Maybe we won't find ourselves if we only look at what we lack

So you made these incisions in your skin

You said you were marking territory for all the times

You let those demons dance around in your head

There's danger in the water

And there's water in my lungs

You won't believe the things I've seen

Since I've been above

For all the things I can take

I know we made our mistakes

Cause we are sick and in love

I have this heart in my chest

I wish I could give it rest

You prayed those demons would leave me

Darling it's okay I can haunt my own dreams

The drink goes down the same

Whether it's to find our pleasure or mask our pain

We tried to stop making sense of our broken past

You wanted to make sense of a hopeful future

So we can find peace within our needs

Before our hearts bleed out to this broken culture

There's danger in the water

And there's water in my lungs

You won't believe the things I've seen

Since I've been above

For all the things I can take

I know we made our mistakes

Cause we are sick and in love

I have this heart in my chest

I wish I could give it rest

I wish I could love you less

I wish I could love you less

I have this heart in my chest

I have this heart in my chest

I'm sure this blood is still coarsing

I feel I missed my mark

And I let those thoughts creep inside until I fall apart

We'll wash these weapons in the ocean

Cleanse our bodies in this blood

I hope we find broken devotion

I hope we fall in love

I hope we fall in love

We're sick and in love
