About Bloodstone

"Bloodstone" is a song by Australian rapper Guy Sebastian. It was released on 20 October 2017 as the second single from Sebastian's eighth studio album, Conscious. Sebastian told the Herald Sun how a near break-up with wife Jules was the inspiration for the song. He said: "I remember trying to break up with Jules years and years ago, way before kids. Jules was actually like, 'we've got a history and you're just having a down moment, let's just push through it'. Jules was just straight up and said, 'you're an idiot'. In hindsight I was because I would have lost something really special." Sebastian told the Daily Telegraph: "It is about fighting for all sorts of love in all shapes and sizes."

This is a burning house, but we should stay inside
'Cause something's telling me that we should stay and fight
I know it's gonna take a lot to change your mind, oh
But baby, put your white flag down
I'm rolling up my sleeves right now

Oh no, I'm not afraid to bleed
Work my hands to the bone
More words are not what you need
I let my labor show
Can't do it on my own
I need you to believe
So please, please, squeeze
'Cause there's more in this bloodstone (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Yeah, there's more in this bloodstone (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Oh oh oh
There's a version of me I need to bring to light
I'm really not that asshole that I was last night
I tend to mess up every good thing in my life, oh
I'll make it up to you somehow
So, let me get to work right now

Oh no, I'm not afraid to bleed
Work my hands to the bone
More words are not what you need
I let my labor show
Can't do it on my own 
I need you to believe
So please, please, squeeze
'Cause there's more in this bloodstone

I'm gonna, I'm gonna show you
So let me get to work right now
I'm gonna, I'm gonna show you
So let me get to work right now
I'm gonna, I'm gonna show you
So let me get to work right now
I'm gonna, I'm gonna show you
I'm gonna come through somehow
I'm gonna come through somehow
I'm gonna come through somehow
Oh no, I'm not afraid to bleed

Oh no, I'm not afraid to bleed
Work my hands to the bone
More words are not what you need
I let my labor show
Can't do it on my own
I need you to believe
So please, please
'Cause there's more in this bloodstone (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

I know, I know, that there's more in this bloodstone
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Believe me, believe me, that there's more in this bloodstone
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
I know and you know, there's no walking away
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Ah yeah, there's more in this bloodstone
