BLEED

 

There’s somethin I been tryn’ to say

All my life and again today.

Springsteen’s thunder road,

Neil young and the damage done.

 

All that spit when I wanted to quit,

But the vinegar made bile,

And the vomit made wild.

So I swallowed it back

And continued to hack away

At the misery.

 

There’s something I been tryin’

To say

That’s stuck in my craw

And so I just bleed

 for the lonely, bleed for the dead.

That old life

So full of dread

Til the headlights shined

And I could see home

At the end of the road.

Yearning to lie down

And pray …  for another day

Another way to bleed.
