Bloodshot
Sam Tinnesz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Doctor says I'm alright
Gotta keep it locked tight
If I'm gonna survive
Don't know what to tell you
Suffer through the volume
Maybe I'm a fool but
I can't wrap my mind around why
I take all of the fear in waves
Suffocating in cellophane
Somebody put me away
Put me away before I break
I'll take another hit to the backbone
I'm picking up the heat like an atom bomb
No time on the clock, it's a bloodshot
Three, two, one
You got me bloodshot
I'll take another hit to the backbone
I'm picking up the heat like an atom bomb
No time on the clock, it's a bloodshot
Three, two, one
You got me bloodshot
Maybe I'm a good guy
Standing on the wrong side
Maybe I'm a sweetheart
Tryna make my own scars
Don't know what it looks like
Just know what it feels like
Scared to let it outside
Scared of what I just might find
I take all of my fear in waves
Suffocating in cellophane
Somebody put me away
Put me away before I break
I'll take another hit to the backbone
I'm picking up the heat like an atom bomb
No time on the clock, it's a bloodshot
Three, two, one
You got me bloodshot
I'll take another hit to the backbone
I'm picking up the heat like an atom bomb
No time on the clock, it's a bloodshot
Three, two, one
You got me bloodshot
You're breaking me, breaking me down
I'll let it all out
Oh, you're breaking me, breaking me down
I'll let it all out
You got me bloodshot
You got me bloodshot
I'll take another hit to the backbone
I'm picking up the heat like an atom bomb
No time on the clock, it's a bloodshot
Three, two, one
You got me bloodshot
I'll take another hit to the backbone
I'm picking up the heat like an atom bomb
No time on the clock, it's a bloodshot
Three, two, one
You got me bloodshot
