SkyBabyRecords: Music & Lyrics

Bled Out

(Cellarscape)

did you think that you’d lost it
inside of yourself?

stuck inside the cave wall,
keeping the light off,
temporarily quiet,

as long as your vengeance can stand.

lay with your back to the fields
that protected your newborns,
get drenched by the sky,

and ascend to her height.

check out the planets you won,
and turn away from those you sold,
amnesia takes the first place while
you’re sleeping off a nostalgic dose.

but it’s all so secret,
yeah it’s all so secret,
and yet,
         (bled out – so why do i feel alive?)
everyone knows and everyone’s to blame

but it’s all so secret
         (bled out, bled out again)
yeah it’s all so secret
         (did you think that you’d lost it
         inside of yourself?)
and yet,
         (bled out – so why do i feel alive?)
this is more than alive.
but i’m
bled
out.

solitude needs a new sponsor,
but not a donation from them.
fill out your forms and sign by the cross if it’s fake.

playback your own forward-thinking
to rebuild a past life.
believe ancient lore
that they’ll spit on before

time
gets
caught

caught on the fence
you
sold

tear through the wires
that
bind
our mouths but force us to confess
but it’s all,
yeah it’s all,

and it’s all so secret,
         (bled out, bled out again)
yeah it’s all so secret,
         (did you think that you’d lost it
         inside of yourself?)
and yet,
         (bled out – so why do i feel alive?)
everyone knows and everyone’s to blame
         (inside of yourself)
but it’s all so secret
         (bled out, bled out again)
yeah it’s all so secret
         (did you think that you’d lost it
         inside of yourself?)
and yet,
         (bled out – so why do i feel alive?)
this is more than alive.
but i’m
bled
out.

bled out again,
i’m just bled out again.
