“The Blood Left on the Door” – Lyrics
The Blood Left on the Door
© Jackson Rodgers and Jesse Bellamy
You found her makin’ haste
In a world full of slow pain
The stars upon her face
Were fadin’ from tear stains
You showed her to a place
Of hope she had longed for
The dream you gave to chase
Held the comforts of lore
Chorus:
You took her to the darkest room in her house
And just when she thought it was safe to look
You turned the darkness out
You struck from behind in that scene you designed
And you watched as it started to pour
And now I’m payin’ for the blood left on the door
I found her in a pool
Of ice from your spoils
I knew that you were schooled
In abusin’ the loyal
I offered her my hand
But she fell ‘neath the surface
She couldn’t understand
The being of my purpose
Chorus:
She took me to the darkest room in her house
And just when I thought it was safe to look
She turned the darkness out
She aimed for her mark and I watched as my heart
Broke in pieces onto the floor
And now I’m payin’ for the blood left on the door
Bridge:
And I want you to know
One thing before you go
Someday the strength you’ve grown
Will be knocked down by the stones you’ve thrown
You struck from behind in that scene you designed
And you watched as it started to pour
And now I’m payin’ for the blood left on the door
Yeah, now I’m payin’ for the blood left on the door
