keep the blood poured

adrenaline testosterone estrogen 
fight flight to home 
heart is just a drug pusher 
marrow pumps in core of bone
freezing, boiling, hazing red 
vision clouds or crystal clicks
target signs land everywhere
what heart wants is where
heart sticks

keep the blood poured
keep the blood poured
peered hit plowed gored
keep the blood poured

get it in must let it out 
sweat, tears, pores, palms, planted soles
fluids in and fluids gone 
got to mix it up one whole

got to mix it up with two 
territories, properties 
so much me that I need you
so much us that we can't be 

keep the blood poured
keep the blood poured
red, green, flash, bore
keep the blood poured

every generation's rise 
hanging on by tooth and nail 
wanting things done just some way 
fixed by generation's fail

how to bring a life like this 
innocent so many ways 
into trials, hips and fists 
lips bare teeth in green eyed gaze

what can keep us breathing yet
keep our limbs moving around 
purposeful as purpose gets 
meaningful as meaning found 

in the blood, such need and want
like, love, trust and consequence
game theories prey, peck and hunt
blood for oil, sport, defense 

keep the blood poured
keep the blood poured
white, black, red, sore
keep the blood poured

keep the blood poured
