About This Track
--------------------

A slightly grotesque analogy about getting rid of (or moving on from) bad memories. The "you" in Bleed You Out is actually addressing the memories themselves, not an actual person (but you can totally think that if you want).

- Ira

lyrics

Bleed You Out
-----------------

Wish I didn't fall for what I feel or see
Cuz everything's eventually a memory
A river of fire for the way things pass
The brightest ideas through a darkening glass
I crawl for every kiss
Drown in every doubt
And if I slit my wrists

Will I bleed you out
Bleed you out
Bleed all of you out

Anger with ease but I'm trying like hell
To fill the imprints of the places I fell
Well I never thought the universe could be so cruel
To savage romance for a suffering fool
I hear the locust horde
Shiver and I shout
If I fall on my sword

Will I bleed you out
Bleed you out
Bleed all of you out

Looking for the light inside that guides
Looking for the trees the forest hides
Reigning in the throes again
Trying to backhand memories and
Mourning what is now and could have been

Maybe one day I can jimmy this door
And wind the clock back to better than before
Been feeling so tense been feeling so lost
I forgave the whole world (but my fingers were crossed)
Farewell to all goodbyes
'Cause I was so devout
And if I gouge out my eyes

Will I bleed you out Bleed you out
Bleed you out Bleed you out
Bleed all of you out

Start over again la
Start all over again la la la

(repeat a buncha times...)
