alfie james - knees deep in the bloodbath lyrics

Loading...

intro
sirens humming through the black
ash falls like feathers on my back

verse 1
we traded prayers for broadcast lies
skyscr+pers swallowed by swollen skies
ran through streets that used to sing
now they choke on everything

the river turned the color wrong
children hum a butchered song
flies trace circles on the glass
while mothers sleep beneath the mass

pre+chorus
i didn’t come here looking for light
i came to feel something bitе

chorus
knees deep in the bloodbath
no map, no god, just aftermath
we’rе shadows on concrete
kissing defeat
wearing names we no longer own
knees deep, but i walk alone
verse 2
crows perch on the chapel’s bone
the bell cracked in a silent tone
i saw him drag a dream through flame
he smiled like he forgot his name

the past is leaking from the drains
old flags soaked in newer stains
the guilty sleep like innocent kings
but i keep hearing the broken things

chorus
knees deep in the bloodbath
no map, no god, just aftermath
we’re shadows on concrete
kissing defeat
wearing names we no longer own
knees deep, but i walk alone

bridge
barbed wire tangled in a lover’s wrist
hope fell off the waiting list
i swallowed fire just to breathe
still, i don’t believe in leave

verse 3
she wrote peace on her windowpane
it melted fast beneath the rain
i pressed my hand against the glass
and felt the future break in half
pre+chorus
i didn’t come here looking for grace
i came to witness the fall of a place

chorus
knees deep in the bloodbath
hearts gone cold in the photograph
we scream through cracked t++th
grinding belief
no angels, no anthem, no home
knees deep—still walking alone

outro
ash on my shoulders, red on my boots
no one’s clean where the root pollutes
knees deep
and deeper still
