From the recording Blood Sweat Tears
Lyrics
When my dreams with you have turned to nightmares
When hope is lost that endured through all these years
I have to face the reality that maybe you’re too far gone
I can’t save you though I’ve tried
This is our Hell realized
All the vows and promises(Blood)
Now mean nothing
All the work that I put in(Sweat)
Was For Nothing
All my hopes & cares(Tears)
Apparently mean nothing
All that remains after all these years
Is just a congealed mess of blood, sweat & tears
So many times I swore it was the last time
Too little too late is this relationship’s tagline
I allowed myself to believe it would last despite the odds
I chose faith to make it real
I let you in to make me feel
You as you see yourself(Blood)
Which is nothing
A task left incomplete(Sweat)
Is all for nothing
Love is blind(Tears)
So I see nothing
All I can do now to calm my fears
Is drown myself in blood, sweat & tears
Blood, The scars and wounds that never heal
Sweat, Work I hide in to escape what I feel
Tears, of pain run down my face
Slipping away into an empty space
Blood, an aphrodisiac on which I dine
Sweat, that’s not yours mingling with mine.
Tears, of guilt I wish I could cry
But you request I continue to lie
All the vows and promises(Blood)
Now mean nothing
All the work that I put in(Sweat)
Was For Nothing
All my hopes & cares(Tears)
Apparently mean nothing
All that remains after all these years
Is just a congealed mess of blood, sweat & tears
You as you see yourself(Blood)
Which is nothing
A task left incomplete(Sweat)
Is all for nothing
Love is blind(Tears)
So I see nothing
All I can do now to calm my fears
Is drown myself in blood, sweat & tears
