please bleed

make me feel like a beggar

make me feel like a thief

make me feel like a battle

that cannot end in peace

make me feel like running

as if i've lost my nerve

make me feel like crying

tears i don't deserve

please bleed

so i know that you are real

so i know that you can feel

the damage that you've done

who have i become

to myself i am numb

i am numb

i am numb

is this really living? sometimes it's hard to tell

or is this just a kind of gentler hell?

turn out the lights

and let me stare into your soul

i was born and bled for you to hold

please bleed

so i know that you are real

so i know that you can feel

the damage that you've done

who have i become

to myself i am numb

i am numb

i am numb

never said thank you

never said please

never gave reason to believe

so as it stands

i remain on my knees

good lovers make great enemies

please bleed

so i know that you are real

so i know that you can feel

the damage that you've done

who have i become

to myself i am numb

i am numb

i am numb
