Bloodshot
Jack's Mannequin - 《The Glass Passenger》
She walks to the mailbox each morning at nine
Every day she begins she's always one day behind
At least when it comes to the mail
She sits on the balcony paying the bills
Her letters just hashing her cigarettes onto the sill
Every breath a little more pale
And the hill's still left to climb
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes
Sits in his basement from midnight 'til four
Painting pictures that nobody sees from his days in the war
The canvas is painted bright red red
He heats up the shower he paces the hall
He'll scrub for an hour or more but he won't get it all
The paint in his fingernail beds
The hill's still left to climb
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes
Come on look up at the bloodshot sky
We wait in valleys whiles the clouds come in
We see no shadows 'cause the shadow's all there is
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes
Come on look up at the bloodshot sky
