Blood flow, blood flow, man I’d never know
Want wires, ones and zeros, no scarlet and indigo
Blood flow, blood flow, man what a show
I thought I'd outgrow, but just left myself a shadow

Like an embryo, pulse solely to say, “hello world”
My knuckles curled defensive
I resented warmth inside
Turned to flames, tarnish a name, confined
In nothing and no one as often felt barely alive
Just how I liked, as anger spiked in younger times
Screaming with an ego at the helm, as I lied
Spun a tail to myself, “life is hell”
You might as well tone it down
Stick to just repeating sounds
Going around through motions
A potion lubricant, emotions the culprit
Spent every waking moment
Stepping further away from the flesh
Wiring circuitry to get away from the rest

Blood flow, blood flow, man I’d never know
Want wires, ones and zeros, no scarlet and indigo
Blood flow, blood flow, man what a show
I thought I'd outgrow, but just left myself a shadow
Blood flow, blood flow, man I’d never know
Want wires, ones and zeros, no scarlet and indigo
Blood flow, blood flow, man what a show
I thought I'd outgrow, but just left myself a shadow

Coupled up now I’m gone
Each conversation to be won
Perhaps human, not one
It’s just what I wanted
So now I just retread
Every step taken
Perhaps was mistaken
Haven’t really felt awakened
Since I was maybe fifteen or younger
Heart torn asunder
Taught to be bored
Adore my own thoughts
In my mind caught
Like a blood clot, uh
But now stripping myself of forgiveness
Taking this heart and just listen
No excuses for myself, I just witness
These emotional loops aren’t my fucking business
I grimaced, now I breathe
Letting this shit wash over me like
Let a fire roar and live by the law of
“Don’t burn down and don’t withdraw”

Blood flow, blood flow, man I’d never know
Want wires, ones and zeros, no scarlet and indigo
Blood flow, blood flow, man what a show
I thought I'd outgrow, but just left myself a shadow
Blood flow, blood flow, man I’d never know
Want wires, ones and zeros, no scarlet and indigo
Blood flow, blood flow, man what a show
I thought I'd outgrow, but just left myself a shadow

Scratching and scraping at skin
Hoping there were wires within
So stuck in feedback, got complacent
Ignore familiar faces, stood adjacent, not present
But gave myself to the blood flow
And I can see now where I didn’t grow
But as my the withered form grows a little older
Once again steel looks a little stronger
