Bleed With Me, Baby - slow shuffle (M2)

lyrics

Bleed with me, baby
though I’m frightened by it
I’ve been aching to
finally break in two
won’t you help me try it
Bleed with me, baby
Come and spill your need
Let the openness
of our brokenness
finally set us free
Come and bleed with me

and I don’t need you to promise
that you’ll stay forevermore
or even love me
I just want to find someone
who is not afraid to feel
or, better, who’s afraid and feels anyway —

Bleed with me baby
let’s not turn away
what if there could be pleasure in letting the pain finally have its say
Bleed with me, baby
Let’s not stop it now
We can pull off the bandage, examine the damage, and let it spill out

I don’t really believe in a past life
but some of these scars seem too ancient
to be only mine
at the same time, I'm bruised
like I got beaten up just yesterday
I’m not healing
I’m lying in a pool of my feelings
come on and bleed with me

Bleed with me, baby
though I’m frightened by it
I’ve been aching to
finally break in two
with you here, I think I can try it
Bleed with me, baby
Come and spill your need
May the openness
of our brokenness
be how both of us
finally get free
Come on and bleed
yeah bleed
with me
