Watch Me Bleed - Joey Cape

Heaven comes to he who waits

But I know I’m getting nowhere

And all the deeds of yesterday

Have really helped to pave my way

Though there’s no one near me now

How come everyone can touch me You see the tortule on my brow

Relates to neither here nor now

Watch me bleed

Bleed forever

Although my face is straight, it lies

My body feels the Pain and cries

Here the table is not bare

I am full but feeling empty

For all the warmth it feels so cold

For one so young I feel so old

Watch me bleed

Bleed forever

It’s not allowed to be unkind

But still the hate lives in my mind

I’ll make no noise

I’ll hide my Pain

I’ll close my eyes

I won’t complain

I’ll lie right back and take the blame

And try to tell myself I’m living

And when it’s all been said or done

Where do I go?

Where do I run?

What’s left for me or anyone when we’re denied

The hurting?
