bloodletting Lyrics

Bloodletting the blister

Biting out the splinter

Still excoriating, trying to do it in less excruciating ways

Guess I'm a fighter

Puff my chest in the presence of the bad man

But my voice has gotten higher

And he doesn't take me seriously with the ringlets

I've got a past here

There's a hearse in the backyard that's got me thinking about

Where I'll go after

The show, and when the rest of my life leaves me

Did I do good things?

Did I cut my losses just in time?

Or did I hold on too long

Just to have something that was all mine?

Make it all so big in my brain

I'm feeling good by contrast

You didn't want to see me okay

And I shouldn't have let myself move past that

I guess I'd rather cry in the car and

Seek every chemical comfort

Than actually find myself

An internal sense of solid self-worth

And maybe I'm breaking my promise

But I don't know where I end and you start

You were taking yourself as a hostage

Didn't want to be the one to make the call

Oh no
