Bloodshot

[Verse 1]
She walks to the mailbox
Each morning at nine
Every day she begins, she's always one day behind
At least when it comes to the mail
She sits on the balcony paying the bills
Her letters just ashing her cigarettes onto the sill
Every breath a little more pale

[Pre-Chorus]
The hill still left to climb is just so

[Chorus]
High
And I'm so tired
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on fire
It's just so high
And I'm so tired
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on

[Verse 2]
He sits in his basement
From midnight 'til four
Painting pictures that nobody sees
From his days in the war
Canvases bathed in bright red, red
He heats up the shower
He paces the hall
He'll scrub for an hour or more
But he won't get it all
Paint in his fingernail beds

[Pre-Chorus]
The hill still left to climb is just so

[Chorus]
High
And I'm so tired
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on fire
It's just so high
And I'm so tired
Come on look up at
The bloodshot sky
The clouds are all on

[Post-Chorus]
Fire, the clouds are all on
Fire, the clouds are all on

[Bridge]
We wait in valleys while the clouds come in
We see no shadows
'Cause a shadow's all there is
And we climb (And we climb)
And we climb (And we climb)

[Chorus]
But it's just so high
And I'm so tired
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on fire
It's just so high
And I'm so tired
Come on look up at
The bloodshot sky
The clouds are all on

[Post-Chorus]
Fire, the clouds are all on
Fire, the clouds are all on, the clouds are all on
Fire, the clouds are all on
Fire
