heart bleeds black

Singer:casualties, the

heart bleeds black

bands come and go

they lack life

in a year they are gone

they lack grace

they're one hit wonder

they lack passion

it's a dead

worthless thing

hey hey hey grace face labor

whoa oh oh music born of hardship

hey hey hey born of our soul

don't try to understand it

you never will

it's in our hearts

the music we feel

heart bleeds black

we're poor at income

heart bleeds black

but rich with pride

heart bleeds black

i might be sad and angry

together we have hope until the end

we're on the road in a filthy car

crusted with sweat

we travel to the end of each highway

i'm opening up music

music to the ugly

how else can you get

get to the vine

except through the guts

the guts of man

not in the body

or through the skin

but the guts

where you feel it within

heart bleeds black

we're poor at income

heart bleeds black

but rich with pride

heart bleeds black

i might be sad and angry

together we have hope until the end

meet some strangers along the way

have a few laughs

maybe a drink

tomorrow i'll do it again

i never stay in one place

plenty of time to think

consider what i've done

do we do it for a reputation?

no we do it cause it's in our blood!

heart bleeds black

we're poor at income

heart bleeds black

but rich with pride

heart bleeds black

i might be sad and angry

we survive

fighting on
