Bleed Out

Ravens

Staring at me

Breath is heavy

Head is light

Stolen slice of memory, mean and weary

Creeps inside

Seeing red, heart is pumping liquid lead,

Spent a life making this bed, time to lie

It’s not clear if the car that gets me out of here

Is safe to drive

When this bridge is crossed

I’ll never be lost again

Bleed out the color

Run out the clock

Reach out

Touch it

Till it all stops

Carry losses, heavy like a burning cross is

Forget justice, forget it all

All the deals, the slimy sick appeals,

All the squeaky wheels, forget them all

I’ve worked and I’ve earned it

Watch me burn it now

Bleed out the color

Run out the clock

Reach out

Touch it

Till it all stops
