lyrics

“Smart Enough to Bleed”

In your restless little world
There’s a coffin for your dreams
You can taste the grief that’s on your tongue
And you spit it through your teeth
You can take the pill and hope for ecstasy
When you’d rather be anyone you see
Your fire is with me

You’re the power, I’m the glory
I will walk you to your grave
I will promise to lay next to you
But you were born to be betrayed
We can make our love in chains and slavery
When you’re far from you expected you to be
Your fire is with me

I’ve been looking for the future
In the landscape of the past
But the sea is rising quickly now
And I’m losing my grip fast
You can raise your arms and hope that it’s a dream
When you’re far from where you expected you to be
Your fire is with me

There was a time I told you stories
All about the “Honest Man”
I sang you all his promises
And I sang about your Dad
Love knows what i envision us to be
If you bite it hard, then it’s
smart enough to bleed
Your fire is with me

Will you ever light any candles of your own?
Will you ever sit and finish that old song?
Will you ever raise the money that you wish could build a home?
You don’t know
