Bleed Lyrics

I saw some blood along the path,

Guess I could guess what left that mark

I bet it was not an equal fight

Some sudden thrust, a pierce of light

I bet when it came they didn't know

Something would slice them chest to throat

Their screams fall silent in the air

They'd paint the street with blood-soaked hair

I don't know what I would have done,

Would I have froze', maybe I'd run

A rabbit captured in the light

It shining from their glinting knife

Guess I'm just butter over here

It would slip in, no shield to steer

That little spear in some close call

I'll just explode and paint the wall

I heard that blood turns black in the moon

Could mark the end of that short trail to my doom

My ink will spread everywhere like black stars

Until there's no more left to spring from my heart, and...

It should matter I can't change

Can't warn them yesterday

They'll get caught in the street

By tools to murder tucked in some sleave

Can't stem that bleed

Don't pick a fight, don't bare your chest

Don't put your skin and bone to the test

Don't think you'll only get a scar

Your blood will cut through, trip your heart

You'll dance just like a marionette

Each string gets cut, you'll move much less

Until you've no dance left at all

Your life blood all over the wall

A sad statistic that for most goes away

Guess it won't cut through any stone on your grave

I see too much way ahead

So much potential and it fills me with dread, and...

It should matter I can't change

Can't warn them yesterday

They'll get caught in the street

By tools to murder tucked in some sleave

Can't stem that bleed
