All The Blood In The World Lyrics

ALL THE BLOOD IN THE WORLD

Step down the stairs here and you will see

All the things in the world I keep hidden from view

Through this hidden door into a darkened town

A subconscious place that I live, it's true

Where the alleys yawn like a thousand mouths

And the streetlights shine with a haunted glow

And it's down these streets I know I have to walk

It's a road where I really don't want to go

All the buildings here are all falling down

You can look through an old cracked windowpane

And you'll see a moment that I can't forget

But I keep playing back again and again

With a hopelessness and a sad regret

For a past that I can't do much about

And there's a street that's full of windows just like this

That I can't ignore, 'cause I own each house

All those demons that you thought were dead

Yeah, they're back and they're waiting for you under the bed

Some things that are just hard to change

All the blood in the world won't wash away that stain

And each hobo sitting on each crumbling stoop

Wears a face that I think I wore before

And I hear them whispering out to me

As I walk along from door to door

Telling me that really, it's much too late

To do anything that'll help this town

And the only road going out of here

Is the road that goes down and down and down

All those demons that you thought were dead

Yeah, they're back and they're waiting for you under the bed

Some things that are just hard to change

All the blood in the world won't wash away that stain
