I went looking for blood
And they're giving me bone
And I wanted a map
I got directions back home
I went looking for knives
And they're giving me blooms
I went looking for knives
And I was looking for you

And I wanted a race
And I got a parade
Then they gave me a picture
of the mess I'd make
I went looking for knives
And they're giving me blooms
I went looking for knives
And I was looking for you

I was working for dollars
But they're giving me dimes
And I wanted a rush
But they're giving me time
I went looking for knives
And they're giving me blooms
I went looking for knives
And I was looking for you

I went looking for body
But they're giving me thin
I was hoping to sail though
But they're making me swim
I went looking for knives
And they're giving me blooms
I went looking for knives
And I was looking for you

I went looking for waking
But they're giving me dream
And I wanted the night
But they're making me sleep
I went looking for knives
And they're giving me blooms
I went looking for knives
And I was looking for you

I went looking for power
But they're giving me heart
And I wanted an ending
But they're giving me start
I went looking for knives
And they're giving me blooms
I went looking for knives
And I was looking for you
