Blood Ballet Lyrics - Maggie Rogers

1 Say it's not so

2 Say your heart it wrote me letters all the time

3 Say it sealed them up and with your breath did sign

4 Them all away

5 Say that your notes

6 They were no forgery, you meant them every line

7 Some in meter, some in verse, and some in rhyme

8 Tell me you meant every word

9 You could cut my knees and leave me at the door

10 I'd still pick all your memories off our dusty floor

11 If you'd stay

12 Darling, just a little while

13 Tell me how you are

14 And I'll write a song for every feeling I can't name

15 Like we were dancing in a fucking blood ballet

16 It was a massacre

17 And how'd you get away

18 'Cause oh, good heavens we abided by the night

19 But there are darker things than the absence of light

20 And they still creak through our halls

21 I would build a city out of you and me

22 There would be crime, but still a local grocery

23 If you'd stay

24 Darling, just a little while
