Bleeding Part of Me Lyrics by Paris Paloma
I have an unhealthy fantasy
That I can’t move and you carry me
Off of the battlefield
Scorched earth that once was green
Always of injury I dream
And in this sickening daydream
Down in the river you lay me
Picking out arrows from my crimson shoulder blades
You remark how much I’m in pain
And it’s always in the dirt
It’s always in the dust
Perpetually cleaning one another’s blood
Is it just the bleeding part of me that loves?
When I’m emaciated
When you can see the bone
When you use all your gentleness to carry me home
Is it just the bleeding part of me that loves?
Just like a tonic on my tongue
Momentary relief in words of love
And we’ll chase that feeling
Avoid all healing if need be
Do I need to be whole if you love me?
Here in the no-man’s-land we lie
In the heat of the battle as your blood mixes with mine
There is no world in which we both make it out of here
It’s one or the other now, my dear
And it’s always in the dirt
It’s always in the dust
Perpetually cleaning one another’s blood
Is it just the bleeding part of me that loves?
When I’m emaciated
When you can see the bone
When you use all your gentleness to carry me home
Is it just the bleeding part of me that loves?
It’s always in the dirt
It’s always in the dust
Perpetually cleaning one another’s blood
Is it just the bleeding part of me that loves?
When I’m emaciated
When you can see the bone
When you use all your gentleness to carry me home
Is it just the bleeding part of me that loves?
And it’s always in the dirt
It’s always in the dust
Perpetually cleaning one another’s blood
Is it just the bleeding part of me that loves?
When I’m emaciated
When you can see the bone
When you use all your gentleness to carry me home
Is it just the bleeding part of me that loves?
