Until We Bleed
I'm naked
I'm numb
I'm stupid
I'm staying
This isn't love. You use me.
When you get home from the club or wherever you've been late at night,
You're clumsy with your hands.
Clothing seems too hard to get off.
And if Cupid's got a gun
Then he's shooting
But I can't leave.
No matter what happens, it's too painful to go.
Lights black
Heads bang
You're my drug
We live it
We're too uncomfortable with the lights on.
I don't want to see your face-
Slurred, clueless.
Angry.
You don't want to see mine-
Helpless, confused.
Depressed.
You're drunk
You need it
Real love,
I'll give it
Everything is hazy to you.
I bet you can't feel.
But I'll love you anyways.
I always have.
So we're bound to linger on
We drink the fatal drop
And love until we bleed
Then fall apart in parts
This has gone on forever, to me.
I'll try to be like you,
To see what it feels like.
I drink the last bottle of vodka
And hold onto you.
You've wasted your times
On my heart, you've burned
And if bridges gotta fall
Then you'll fall, too
Maybe this is the part of life
That people told me about
It doesn't mean anything
It hurts you.
You grow so attached that when one piece collapses
You do too.
Doors slam
Lights black
You're gone
Come back
You leave when the ordeal is over
Because you couldn't really care less when you're sober
You don't have a reason anymore
Stay gone
Stay clean
I need you
To need me
I want you to be happy
To be the way you were before.
But I think without you,
Even though I only see you late at night,
I would be destroyed.
So we're bound to linger on
We drink the fatal drop
Then love until we bleed
Then fall apart in parts
I'm getting up to leave
The keys are for you
Now we're bound to linger on
We drink the fatal drop
Then love until we bleed
Then fall apart in parts
But I'll come back soon
I'll come back
