Bloody Sweet

Do you even breathe
When I say that it won’t be long?
When you watch me leave
You’re bloody but sweet, in misery
I’m somewhere between
And from high above
I could never quite capture you
The bays like blue veins
Crooked as hell, and stretch like birthing scars
I’m just a love letting bloodletting take
Place alone

Can it wait a few more days?
This love of mine gives and takes
Like fever shakes of a beaten sore leather body
Healthy, still, out of shape
Been here before
Hard to ask life to stay
We try but it just can’t bother

It’s blinding in this red haze
A negative over exposed
Landing never does the trick
Nothing but talking silhouettes
Pouring on manchester
Sun now, but it’s the same as the last
A drink two figers high
Idle hands are wrapped around the glass
I can’t settle down
Just bloody but sweet, alone in missouri
I’m just a love by the phone

Can it wait a few more days?
This love of mine gives and takes
Like fever shakes of a beaten sore leather body
Healthy, still, out of shape
Been here before
Hard to ask life to stay
We try but it just can’t bother

I’m just a love
I disappear, never arrive
And you're laying there
Barely alive
