Lyrics

Tell me I'm bleeding, tell me I'll die
Tell me to leave here so I can survive
I was-a-dreaming of a place
Down by the oceanside far from these growing pains

Your venom is circling through my veins
Tell me you bit me, now is it too late?
To climb out these confines that you've walled around my face
Whenever I smile no one's there to see it's fake

Tell me I'm bleeding, tell me I'll die
Tell me to leave here so I can survive

You can't live without me
You can't sleep without me

I saw the ocean, the waves were red
They crashed upon the shore, upon the bloodied sand
You say it's nothing, but a fleeting dream
But I've heard the prophets speaking omens in my sleep

Tell me I'm bleeding, tell me I'll die
Tell me to leave here so I can survive

You can't live without me
You can't sleep without me

You can spit, but you can't talk
You can cry, but you can't walk
You can trap me in my bed, but leave a pillow 'neath my head
Please tell me I'm bleeding

I can live without you, I can sleep without you
I can talk, no I won't spit, I can walk, yes I will win
You can't trap me in my head
I'll give my pillow to the dead

I know I am bleeding
