Buckets Of Blood
RUFUS REX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my own madness
I prefer this painful silence
I won’t stop until there’s blood, blood, blood, blood
Leave me here to battle
Through my regression
As I descend into obsession
Sure I know I will bleed
Until there’s nothing more of me
This time left for dead
With just the demons in my head
Leave me here to wallow
In my delusions
With these phantoms I’ll find conclusions
I won’t stop until there’s blood, blood, blood, blood
Leave me here to struggle
Through heathen theories
Of this disease I have grown weary
I won’t stop until there’s buckets of blood
Sure I know I will bleed
Until there’s nothing more of me
This time left for dead
With just the demons in my head
What fatal flaw has us enthralled
What terrible twist has us recall
Somebody must pay
For this mortal decay
Blood
Blood
Blood
Blood
Blood

Sure I know I will bleed
Until there’s nothing more of me
This time left for dead
With just the demons in my head
What fatal flaw has us enthralled
What terrible twist has us recall
Somebody must pay
For this mortal decay

Never has there been a more cheerful song about brutal self mutilation and madness.
