Vera Sola
Blood Bond
Stayed away for some months
Sweated out the summer
Made a lathe for love lust
So carved out another
Turn on blood to make it through
Elbowed out a twist on naming our
Arms of virtue

I made the most of another man’s horror songs
And I staked them out in your honor
My doctor judge and I made sustain to sound out your words
Your lawful blood songs
I staved them out to swallow down my sovereign
Sister brother

He made a break for so long
Took a country lover
He rode the fog out so much
The dark waylaid our mother
The bond of blood so swift dilutes
Bearing arms awake too soon
Elbows out your virtue

Give up givе up give up give up give up
Givе up your bones
Give up your bones
Give up, give up your bones
Your house no more, it’s not your home
You’re so easy to pass along
Give up your bones
Give up your bones
Give up, give up your bones
Your bones, your bones
This blood is not your own

And take what you can get
Of a better man’s awful love songs
And stave them out for his new lease
On the terms of honor
And I make a stain to sound out promises
Of faulty blood bonds
You lent my bones out to another
Sister brother

Give up your bones
Give up your bones
Give up, give up your bones
This house no more, it’s not your home
So easy to pass along
Give up your bones
Give up your bones
Give up, give up your bones
Your bones our bones
This blood is out on loan
