Blood on the Cufflinks

Silk tie straight, shoes shine black, But the past still whispers, it calls me back. Gunpowder lingers where the handshake ends, And the blood on the cufflinks don’t wash with the trends.

Blood on the cufflinks, truth in the stain, Velvet can’t cover the weight of pain. Sharp as a razor, cold as the rain, Blood on the cufflinks, nothing’s the same.

They toast to deals with a glass of wine, But I see the crimson in every sign. Gentle hands, but the grip runs tight, And I smell the sin in the midnight fight.

Blood on the cufflinks, truth in the stain, Velvet can’t cover the weight of pain. Sharp as a razor, cold as the rain, Blood on the cufflinks, nothing’s the same.

Silver shines, but it hides the rust, Every oath breaks, every bond turns dust. You wear your pride, but you can’t disguise, The blood that lingers in your eyes.

Blood on the cufflinks, truth in the stain, Velvet can’t cover the weight of pain. Sharp as a razor, cold as the rain, Blood on the cufflinks, nothing’s the same.
