Into the Abattoir
The Cotones Lyrics
The pavement scorched my naked feet
But I didn’t dare to slow
No I was on the run, who knew what from
Or even where it was I’d go
Well you said that we’d last for a thousand years
But love you didn’t even try
Your promises fade like November rains
Into the holy abattoir we call the sky
Like the hot-blooded bleeding heart I am
I wish that you would make amends
But inside I know that you didn’t ask for the life
You were sent
So you’ll slither and hide but you won’t know why
‘Til you’re scared to even make a sound
Taking solace in the drink and then pour down the sink
All the anxious doubt that you’ve drowned
And I wish that I could lend you a helping hand
But you know how much that hurts
So for the father and the boy, who your pain they enjoy
I wish them nothing but the absolute worst
Like the hot-blooded bleeding heart I am
I wish that you would make amends
But inside I know that you didn’t ask for the life
You were sent
But I didn’t dare to slow
No I was on the run, who knew what from
Or even where it was I’d go
Well you said that we’d last for a thousand years
But love you didn’t even try
Your promises fade like November rains
Into the holy abattoir we call the sky
Like the hot-blooded bleeding heart I am
I wish that you would make amends
You were sent
So you’ll slither and hide but you won’t know why
‘Til you’re scared to even make a sound
Taking solace in the drink and then pour down the sink
All the anxious doubt that you’ve drowned
And I wish that I could lend you a helping hand
But you know how much that hurts
So for the father and the boy, who your pain they enjoy
I wish them nothing but the absolute worst
Like the hot-blooded bleeding heart I am
I wish that you would make amends
But inside I know that you didn’t ask for the life
You were sent
