Bleed

Here this moment collapses around me
The world echoes some familiar edgy tune
Some echo of what was you
Tell me how do you sleep

Knowing you’ve left me here to bleed – alone

How could the morning come?
Over all those asking questions
Left loaded and primed
Left me without a dime
Wondering what was that, that came over me
Tell me how do you sleep

Knowing you’ve left me here to bleed – alone

Go to her, go now and leave me
There’s nothing left to say
There’s nothing left to do
You used up all the needs
You feed your disease and now dear
There’s nothing here
There’s nothing left for you here
Tell me how do you sleep

Knowing you’ve left me here to bleed – alone
