Royal Blood - Royal Blood Album Lyrics

Out Of The Black

How did it feel when it came alive and took you
Out of the black
It broke your skin and shook through
Every part of me, every part of you

You made a fool out of me
And took the skin off my back running
So don't breathe when I talk
'Cause you haven't been spoken to
I got a gun for a mouth and a bullet with your name on it
But a sliver for a heart beating blood from an empty pocket

I never wondered why
And you didn't care when
You closed every day
I washed away your sin

And I promised you
Like you promised me
That those vows we made
We f*cked them up for free

You made a fool out of me
And took the skin off my back running
So don't breathe when I talk
'Cause you haven't been spoken to
I got a gun for a mouth and a bullet with your name on it
But a sliver for a heart beating blood from an empty pocket

You made a fool out of me
And took the skin off my back running
So don't breathe when I talk
'Cause you haven't been spoken to
I got a gun for a mouth and a bullet with your name on it
But a sliver for a heart beating blood from an empty pocket

And it's hard, this world
Never lets you go
Deals your cards right here

Come On Over

I'm on a train going nowhere
I ran away to make you care
this ain't my house this ain't your home
not when I'm feeling this alone

So come on over yeah,
I've waited since you start believin'
Yeah so come on over yeah,
Well there's no god and I don't really care

Lets run away, get out of here
I got no money and I don't care
This ain't my house this ain't your home
not when I'm feeling this alone

So come on over yeah,
I've waited since you start believin'
Yeah so come on over yeah,
there's no god and I don't really care, I don't really care

I'm on a train going nowhere
I ran away to make you care
this ain't my house this ain't your home not when I'm feeling this alone

So come on over yeah,
I've waited since you start believin'
Yeah so come on over yeah,
Well there's no god and I don't really care

Figure It Out

Nothing here to see
Just a kid like me
Trying to cuss and see
Trying to figure it out

Nothing better to do
When I'm stuck on you
And still I'm here
Trying to figure it out

Getting hard to sleep
But it is in my dreams
But it's killing me
To try and figure it out

Nothing better to do
When I'm stuck on you
And still I'm here
Trying to figure it out

I'll let it go 'cause I won't see you later and I'm not allowed to talk it out
I said I'll come, Promise I won't show but I see you trying to figure it out
I promise you, I'll take a bet on you but you didn't know I planned it out
I said I'll go, yeah, I won't see you later and I'm not allowed to figure it out

Nothing here to see
Just a kid like me
Trying to cuss and see
Trying to figure it out

Nothing better to do
When I'm stuck on you
And still I'm here
Trying to figure it out

I'll let it go 'cause I won't see you later and I'm not allowed to talk it out
I said I'll come, Promise I won't show but I see you trying to figure it out
I promise you, I'll take a bet on you but you didn't know I planned it out
I said I'll go, yeah, I won't see you later and I'm not allowed to figure it out

You Can Be So Cruel

I'm outside your window, I'm outside your door,
You've never been this lonely
Well I've never been this down before and it shows
Killing me so gently, hands right round my throat
Choking me so slowly, slashing every words down to the bone

Cause you can be so cruel
And that's all I've ever known
Cruel, cruel world

Look inside your window, look outside your door
Wake you when you're sleeping
Cause I've never been this down before and it shows
No I've never been this down before

Cause you can be so cruel
And that's all I've ever known
Cruel, cruel world
Yeah, you can be so cruel
And that's all you've ever done
Cruel, cruel world
Cruel, cruel world
Cruel, cruel world

Cruel, cruel world
Cruel

Blood Hands

Took a lonely feeling just to let them in and sing
Like the sun goes down, never close to heaven
Felt my feet were burning from the cigarette on the ground
There's blood on my hands, there's blood on my hands
Yeah, there's blood

It's getting hot and listen when the clock is ticking
Counting down the days gone by
Praying for an answer to another question
That only leaves you dry
You won't understand with your head in the sand
No, you won't

But I'll kiss the ground where you kneel
Til I grow my hair to my heels
So I'll go on and you'll whine
But you'll waste my prayer this time

Every time I drink and try to stop my thinking
Bout the things I've said and done
Stop the world from turning faster
Then I'm learning not to choose how to run
You won't understand with your head in the sand
No, you won't

Love came and went faster than a pencil bend in this hot machine
No where near the table, just somewhere in between you and me
It's [?] to see me

But I'll kiss the ground where you kneel
Til I grow my hair to my heels
Splash your water in your wine
Yeah, there's blood on my hands, there's blood on my hands
There's blood on my hands, there's blood on my hands
Yeah, there's blood

Took a lonely feeling just to let them in and sing
Like the sun goes down, never close to heaven
Felt my feet were burning from the cigarette on the ground

Little Monster

Hey little monster, I got my eye on you
Where are you going, where you running to?
Hey little monster, you know it's all ok
I'm gonna love ya, no matter what you say

I've got love on my fingers
Lust on my tongue
You say you got nothing,
So come out and get some
Heartache to Heartache,
I'm your wolf- I'm your man
I say run little monster,
Before you know who I am

Hey little creature, tell me what's on your mind,
Where've you been hiding? And can I come this time?
So pleased to please ya, and rip that heart off your sleeve,
What we discover...

I've got love on my fingers
Lust on my tongue
You say you got nothing,
So come out and get some
Heartache to Heartache,
I'm your wolf- I'm your man
I say run little monster,
Before you know who I am

I've got love on my fingers
Lust on my tongue
You say you got nothing,
So come out and get some
Heartache to Heartache,
I'm your wolf- I'm your man
I say run little monster,
Before you know who I...

...am

Loose Change

Loose change
Another penny in my pocket again
No Shame
Another heart-shaped locket
Choke chain
With 24 carats just to hock it again
There's nobody home, no there's nobody home

Cause all that glitters is gold
Till the glitter gets sold and the money don't fold
Yeah, your money don't fold

Stuck stood still with your door banging
Shadow through your little hole
But there's nobody home, Yeah there's nobody home

Teeth clean, nineteen, heart's queen looking on the guillotine
They'll get down on your floor, they'll get down on your floor

Cause all that glitters is gold
Till the glitter gets sold and the money don't fold
All that glitters is gold
Till the glitter gets sold and the money don't fold
All that glitters is gold
Till the glitter gets sold and the money don't fold
All that glitters is gold
Till the glitter gets sold and the money don't fold

I wanna double my money
So don't act, don't act like there's nobody home
Yeah quit playing God on your telephone
Hand it over all to me
About as funny as a broken bone
But there's nobody home, yeah there's nobody home

Cause all that glitters is gold
Till the glitter gets sold and the money don't fold
All that glitters is gold
Till the glitter gets sold and the money don't fold
All that glitters is gold
Till the glitter gets sold and the money don't fold
All that glitters is gold
Till the glitter gets sold and the money don't fold

Careless

I'm tired of kidding myself
Another pill, no good for my health
I wish I could make this disappear
So I sit and smoke on my own
Think about you baby, are you feeling alone?
Cause I'd die just thinking that you'd forget
But I guess you won't

I wish I cared less, but I'm afraid I don't
You couldn't care less, so I guess you won't
Change your mind again

I can't stop dreaming of you
It does me no good and it's turning into
A splinter that I can't find under my skin
So I'll make another hole in the wall
Think about the times I didn't love you at all
Cause I just can't make myself again
So I guess I won't

I wish I cared less, but I'm afraid I don't
You couldn't care less, so I guess you won't
Change your mind again

I've tried to right myself
But our love came crashing down
Like a tidal wave, a tidal wave
I'm fighting with my hands
And I hope you know we're digging our own graves
For your mistakes

I wish I cared less, but I'm afraid I don't
You couldn't care less, so I guess you won't
Change your mind again

I've tried to right myself
But our love came crashing down like a tidal wave
I'm fighting with my hands
And I hope you know we're digging our own graves

Ten Tonne Skeleton

She's hurt my heart, left me for dead
And drank my blood, told me she said
Our secrets worth its weight in gold
That fire we had, those two we cold

Cut loose like an animal
Fired out like a cannon ball
But I waited too long
Yeah, I waited too long
Got me high from a holy vein
Crashed down in a hurricane
Love has been here and gone
Love has been here and gone

Where did you go? Where did you run?
I can't erase what you've done
Let's burn the past, forget the truth
I'm still more than him, I'm still loving you

Cut loose like an animal
Fired out like a cannon ball
But I waited too long
Yeah, I waited too long
Got me high from a holy vein
Crashed down in a hurricane
Love has been here and gone
Love has been here and gone

Better Strangers

There's nothing left inside, I found a whole new low
My heart is open wide, with no love to show
I know I got high but you didn't have to leave me so

Brother had beat me blue, sister bled me dry
It's why I count on you, but you don't treat me right
I know I held tight but you didn't have to leave me so

Hollow, hollow
I don't need you tonight so don't follow, follow
Left alone in the valley so hollow, hollow
I know you want to be mine so don't follow, follow

Cross my heavy heart, you won't be replaced
I can't fill the void, walk the other space
So remember my face every time you left feeling so

Hollow, hollow
I don't need you tonight so don't follow, follow
Left alone in the valley so hollow, hollow
I know you want to be mine so don't follow, follow

With no love to show
Cause I'm a thousand miles from danger if I make a better stranger
Thousand miles from danger if I make a better stranger
Thousand miles from danger if I make a better stranger of you

I don't need you tonight so don't follow, follow
Left alone in the valley so hollow, hollow
I know you want to be mine so don't follow, follow

Cause I'm a thousand miles from danger if I make a better stranger of you
