Bleed

10 years old takin’ shots on the chin, big bad mother fucker with a fist and a grin
Never had the chance to just be a kid, I had to protect from all the violence you hid
Home from school in the afternoon, go sweep the pool, make it good, you know he’ll be home real soon
Got it done it was clean as fuck, through the door swingin’ and I had to duck
Ran out the back and hit the gate, this mother fucker full of booze and hate,
Made it to the street and got knocked down, he even made it look like I was the damn clown,
Back to the house with his hand on my neck, everybody knows he gonna teach me respect.


Bleed…
All you ever did was bleed me
Bleed…
My spirit broke and still you didn’t see
Bleed…
Crimson rivers that never cease to be
Bleed…
I am strong now because I made me

20 years later I look back on this, the anger and the hours, the fun I missed
All the scars that bind, that confine the mind I wonder, how do I leave it all behind?
I have wanted to kill you, to see you bleed the way I do, all your punishment is overdue,
Broken dreams and tears of pain, dimmed the light, a kid lost in the rain,
It’s your fault you held those cards, beaten down in the front yard, to hold your anger couldn’t be so hard.
I see you know a broken old drunk, I’d still like to see you tied and bleeding in the trunk
I’m better than you, you lying freak, see me now punk I am not so weak, only one dare fucker, open up and speak.


Bleed…
All you ever did was bleed me
Bleed…
My spirit broke and still you didn’t see
Bleed…
Crimson rivers that never cease to be
Bleed…
I am strong now because I made me

Not your blood, not your time
All these years I turned out fine
Made my way through all your shit
I know one day you’ll be judged and have to sit
Look at all the shit you caused
Maybe that day you’ll take pause.
Hear me now you chicken shit fuck
Karma’s a bitch, good fucking luck



Bleed…
All you ever did was bleed me
Bleed…
My spirit healed and you can’t see
Bleed…
Crimson river dried and will never be
Bleed…
I am strong now because I made me
