Hear Me Out

Bleeding…hand me a tourniquet 
Breathing…my heart’s bleeding out regret…
Whatever it sees fit

Save me please
Hear me out
Take my hand – (My heart’s at ease)
You know what I’m talking about
Save me please
Hear me as I call
Go to the Promise Land – (My heart’s at ease)
Hear me out – catch me before I fall

(chorus) Hear me out…hear my shouts
Without a doubt, I am ignored once more
But I feel you touch my hand
You’re by my side forever
Our fate is close at hand 
But we’re in good hands…
Do you understand? 

Bleeding…hand me a tourniquet 
Breathing heavily – my heart’s beating in regret…
It’s breaking bit by bit

Save me before I kiss death
Hear my voice…as it calls
You take my breath away – I must draw my last breath
Before I fall into the abyss…my spirit falls

(chorus) Hear me out…hear my shouts
Without a doubt, I am ignored once more
But I feel you touch my hand
You’re by my side forever
Our fate is close at hand 
But we’re in good hands…
Do you understand? 

Bleeding…hand me something to wipe off the grime
Breathing softly – my heart’s beating…is it my time?
Is it my time to die? 

Save me…I’m slowly shattering
Away…I’m so far away from my destination
Take my hand – my heart is no longer beating 
Take away my desolation…my frustration

Save me one last time
Fear not the darkness…that wraps around me 
Go to the Promise Land – time’s flipping like a dime
Hear me – save me from reality’s demise…

(chorus) Hear me out…hear my shouts
Without a doubt, I am ignored once more
But I feel you touch my hand
You’re by my side forever
Our fate is close at hand 
But we’re in good hands…

Don’t you understand?
You can’t save me…
I’ve fallen below your feet…
