The days are blood   No beginning, no end   Bleeding like a fountain pen   The days are blood      Alarm clock rips open my eyes   I'm so tired   Staring at the black spots before my eyes   Am I alive   Mirror showing bloodshot eyes   It never lies   Another day on the 9 to 5   No whens or whys      These days of blood, eyes of fire      I gave at the office   I gave at the bank   I gave to my friends   I gave to my enemies   You tell me it's better to give than to receive   So tell me why is it you that's bleeding me      7 O'clock - got to wake up   Wake up   Look in the mirror, see my face   See the traces of yesterday   Oh, for yesterday   Oh, for tomorrow      The days are blood   Bleeding into each other   The days are blood   And I'm drowning      And as I watch the evening news   I realize   Telling me of the day's slaughter   I realize   Spilling innards on my dreams   I realize   As I bleed cold sleep sweat   I realize   The nights are blood too
