We All Bleed - You And I

We run light footed upon the wind

Like nights slipping away

Or cold damp air, poisoned dream

Waking at any hour

And coming upon an open chair

Open cell when I cry

Ink filled paper

To erase our dreams

Ten floors away, I looked down praying to

Open the window, open this window

It sealed my lungs, that’s what they said

(We flow like butterflies in summer blissful morning)

It sealed my lungs every last inch

And I missed your call while not waiting

(We never open up to close wounds long left for bleeding)

Its always this way, always this way

It’s always this way (Nothing)

It’s always this way (changes)

It’s always this way (Nothing)

It’s always this way (changes)

Nothing (Let me bleed my heart)

Changes (Let me bleed my soul)

Nothing (Let me bleed my heart)

Changes (Let me bleed my soul)

The envelopes, they’re always empty

From all the words not sent

We (Let me bleed my soul)

We all try to be heroes but our capes

Have fallen off (Let me bleed my soul)

So I stand staggered smile

By a falling branch (Let me bleed my soul)

So I try, reaching out, die

With open arms (Let me bleed my soul)

Where I sit pretending it’s not gone, but it never changes
