Cold Blood

Lyrics

[Intro] Cold blood, count it down Stone floor, gather round [Verse 1] You step through the doors with a blade in your grin Black silk, bare shoulders, the fever begins I watch every heartbeat turn blue in your hand You make all the wolves fall in line where you stand [Pre-Chorus] No pulse in the mirror No heat in the skin You smile like a verdict And welcome me in [Chorus] Cold blood, cold blood Keep your eyes on me Cold blood, cold blood Cut the last warm memory Move like a warning, make the whole hall kneel Cold blood—nothing left to feel [Verse 2] Your heels strike sparks from the iron-black floor You circle the crowd, then you lock every door A slow little turn and the red banners sway You dance like the end has been waiting all day [Pre-Chorus] No pulse in the mirror No heat in the skin You smile like a verdict And welcome me in [Chorus] Cold blood, cold blood Keep your eyes on me Cold blood, cold blood Cut the last warm memory Move like a warning, make the whole hall kneel Cold blood—nothing left to feel [Bridge] Take what is tender Bury it deep Count every promise You couldn't keep One final breath One final thrill Your hands stay steady The room goes still [Final Chorus] Cold blood, cold blood Keep your eyes on me Cold blood, cold blood Cut the last warm memory Move like a warning, make the whole hall kneel Cold blood—nothing left to feel [Outro] Cold blood Still as stone Cold blood Take me home
