lyrics

I'm walking out on bloodied legs
So hurt I can't feel it and my ears are dead so don't try
I paid no heed to so many cuts
You're the first thing on my mind
That's the last thing that I said
Walk fearlesly in, to walk fearlesly out
Knock a glass right out of your hand and throw my weight about
Should have known it would hurt but what I've tried deosn't work
Oh, to be brave to your face and shake it off
Like the tear thrown from your cheek, my heart does the same when you speak
I'll of the things I've done to you
Over and done, you shook it off
I never saw the blanket spreading out
In mid-air turning around
And the cold ring on the ground
You shook it off
I waited there for sure
'You out of your mind, driving around
The clock has your face again
So I turn it off
To young to grieve, we were so naive
With a run-away everything
We shook it off
I never paid through the nose, I never cared where it goes
A bloody stream sprung anew, can't you keep it in?
Life froze, nowhere to go
Come back because I told you so with a mouthfull of dirt
I can't spit it out
Know there's a bridge with our name on it in a stack in the back
Dark blue with skulls on top
I can't shake them off
No one knows what I see in you
But I've never seen it before, I've never seen you beg for more
An unquencheable lust, I know, but don't question the trust I've shown
To follow you and never look back
All the fires of hell can beckon me but I can't follow you back
Though angels be defending you, I won't hesitate to run you through
I'll lay naked in showers of sparks
Into the depths and on to the other side of you
