Drowning in desperation
Wide eyes, burning red
Taken by disconnected lust
Feed, choke, despise
They prey upon us
Our death of self restraint
Maggots inhaling praise
Make low my high
Torn apart, all alone
Sacred heart, made of stone
Can't stay above
Can't take enough
Soul depleting love
Hollow and black
Just like the ash
Running through my blood
Cold blood
Cold blood
Cold Blood
Vacant in motivation
White hearts and hollow words
Dying to validate your debt
Lost souls in rise
No separation
No affirming word
Righteous refusal of decay
Burn through your lies
Torn apart, all alone
Sacred heart, made of stone
Cant't stay above
Can't take enough
Soul depleting love
Hollow and black
Just like the ash
Running through my blood
Your contribution a desperate display of brokeness
It's all the same now, same paper crown by lesser means
The flower dies in time and when it does there's nothing left what a shame
A legacy denied for all who came
Can't stay above
Can't take enough
Soul depleting love
Hollow and black
Just like the ash
Running through my blood
Can't stay above
Can't take enough
Soul depleting love
Hollow and black
Just like the ash
Running through my blood
Cold blood
Cold blood
Cold blood
Blood
Cold blood

“The internet is one giant paradox. On one hand, it is an endless wealth of useful information… on the other hand it is ground zero for every kind of awfulness imaginable. Worst of all, it has become so deeply ingrained in us, that most of us cannot imagine life without it.
I’m no exception. What I do versus what I believe makes me very contradictory. I take part in social media yet simultaneously believe it to be, without a doubt, the most destructive force of our generation. Cold Blood is about my feelings on social media, the internet at large, and the distance it’s created among us.
Growing up in a pre-internet era, I can’t help but feel sorrow for those who were born in the wake of its necessity. As hard as it is to imagine, I would love to see a backlash. I believe there will be a time when a great number of people make the decision to truly distance themselves from it all."
