Bleed Me Out

Air This Side of Caution

Hello
Am I not the man who gave you his soul?
Now I don't know if you're the one
Who can keep me whole

I'll just sit here and bide my time
Wishing I could say that it's your loss but I know it's mine
All the pretty colors you paint around your eyes
Leave a trail like a sunset in these cloudy, tired skies

Excuse me
What a Trojan whore you turned out to be
And I didn't see
That you're the queen of mediocrity

I'll just sit here and read your mind
Knowing any moment you'll burn me if you're so inclined

Oh no
My soul lies in the hands of a woman scorned
I'm torn and forlorn
You're a devil without the horns

And I'll watch you bleed me out
And I'll watch you bleed me out

Once or twice you melt the ice
And I'll watch you bleed me out

Good-bye
I just wasted four months of my life
And all that time
You were wrong
And no one was right

Oh no
My soul lies in the hands of a woman scorned
I'll bleed your need
To prove you're not my whore

And I'll watch you bleed me out
And I'll watch you bleed me out
Once or twice you melt the ice
And I'll watch you bleed me out

You stand there in the door
Casting the same damn shadows as before
Drifting by your side
Is the ghost of my swollen pride

Once or twice you melt the ice
And I'll watch you bleed me out
And I'll watch you bleed me out

Blood in my veins but how you keep draining me
Naked and cold, stripped of my dignity
Blood in my veins but how you keep draining me
Gasping for air, you give me no sympathy
Blood in my veins but how you keep draining me
Faulty and pale, much like your decency
Blood in my veins but how you keep draining me
Casting aside
Blood in my veins but how you keep draining me
Blood in my veins but how you keep draining me
Blood in my veins but how you keep draining me
Blood in my veins but how you keep draining me
