"Don't I Bleed" lyrics

He’s in the darkness on the far side of the road

Close to the ground, beyond the streetlight’s glow

Walk right by  him don’t look in his eyes

You might not like what you find…..

 

Chorus:

and you feel the street closing behind you

and  it feels like wings

beating inside you

and he says, come here,

right here beside me

I see and feel just like you,

if you cut me,

don’t I bleed,

just like you.

 

A little darker now

a girl with shadows in her eyes,

Windowless doors

Just hard enough to find

She says are you lost, love,

Come inside…..

‘cause it’s a long, long night….

 

(Chorus)

 

So take another step closer to the light,

Tell me is it comfort that you find

Oh it’s easy so easy to deny,

Tell yourself another lie…..

 

Back home, let it slide,

Grab the remote and close your eyes,

Feels much better with the sound on high,

All you relate to, put right before your eyes,

Nothing , nothing gets inside,

Till you hear the door

Crashing behind you

And it feels like wings

Beating inside you

And it’s here somehow,

Right here beside you

To see and feel

What you do,

To cut you,

And watch you bleed….

‘cause you do.
