Is Blood

What is blood, tell me is it blue?
Like a river, moves through me and you
Tributary of veins upon my wrist
All lead to a sea of pain and bliss.

The sea is the heart, mind and soul
No one on this ocean has control
Not even god, he allows the choice
The ocean rages - I rejoice.

Laughing and bleeding inside this storm
I look up, I scream and am forlorn
Back and forth I dream and deeply sleep
From nightmare to peaceful dreams I keep.

I'll tell you a secret... listen well
I still taste heaven, seized by hell
And in this seizure that wars in my soul
I find great peace in flesh and bone

So war and rage within my sky blue blood
We'll build a bridge and cross over the flood.
