TRACK 8:
Blood from a Stone JONATHA'S NOTE:I thought since my mother's maiden name is Stone, that this would be a subtle way to implicate myself in a song. Those family ties that bind and break. It's amazing to grow up and see everything you denied about yourself seeping in through those songlines/bloodlines. We are our mother's daughters. We are our mothers.
LYRICS:
Its as if were tracing some familiar fault line Running down the coast from you to me Dark potential just beneath the surface, All the worlds colliding in the tragedy Blood from a stone, wine from water Id die here alone, only daughter Blood from a stone, wine from water Id die here alone, like a lamb to slaughter Silence has become our only currency You pay me and Ill be sure to pay you back But step lightly til youve crossed the jagged border Cuz the earth may shift beneath you, pull the rug out, All your history keeping track Blood from a stone, wine from water Id die here alone, only daughter Blood from a stone, wine from water Id die here alone, like a lamb to slaughter Ill reel in my addictions in the face of your distress Aches and pains all shelved and put aside Ill jump to my conclusions, but Ill leap to your defense And Ill wish I were the brave one as I breathe another lie Cause it runs in the family, its coursing through our veins It lingers and gets caught in our hearts Running in the family, its a little like insane The trimmings and the trappings of the artist and the art Blood from a stone, wine from water Id die here alone, only daughter Blood from a stone, wine from water Id die here alone, like a lamb to slaughter |
