A beautiful piano ballad released as the second taste of “Castles,” “Blood & Muscle” showcases Lissie’s desire for a love she can give her all to. She deserves it after so much pain.
[Verse 1]
Midnight, knocking on my window
Light playing tricks on me
Oh, I’m running out of time
Wasted so many hours
Gave up all of my power and for what?
It’s like I’ve been out of my mind
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I won’t give up
I won’t give up
[Chorus]
I want a love that's made of blood and muscle
I want a love that's brave, can take my tears
I wanna laugh at the dark like I’m not scared of nothing
I wanna love that's made of blood and muscle
[Post-Chorus]
Blood and muscle, muscle
Blood and muscle, muscle
Blood and muscle, muscle
[Verse 2]
The crows fly higher and higher
Their cries sound like a choir in the sky
It’s like they’re taunting me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Saying you should give up
But I won’t give up
[Chorus]
I want a love that's made of blood and muscle
I want a love that's brave, can take my tears
I wanna laugh at the dark like I’m not scared of nothing
I wanna love that's made of blood and muscle
[Bridge]
Real and warm and alive
And not just in my mind
[Chorus]
I want a love that's brave, can take my tears
I wanna laugh at the dark like I’m not scared of nothing
I want a love that's made of blood and muscle, muscle
[Outro]
Muscle, muscle, muscle
Let’s love, let’s love, let’s love
I want a love that's made of blood and muscle
