Hemorrhage Lyrics


by Candace Coker

My mate my soul
how well you tease me
crushed all my bones
with your heart’s beating
your infinite woes are now mine to carry
cracks all over our home but we’r resting sweetly

when we first started out, we bled easy
so we learned to run before any carnage
but we are older now and we fly easy
since we’ve learned that love is all but a hemorrhage

oh gratuitous war, how much you tempt me
to trample his doors, to leave him empty
oh funny how life goes
i call him a foe, a wretched man
but somehow i lose my throat halfway down my own broke road to him

My mate my soul
how well you tease me
crushed all my bones
with your heart’s beating
your infinite woes are now mine to carry
cracks all over our home but we’r resting sweetly

when we first started out, we bled easy
so we learned to run before any carnage
but we are older now and we fly easy
since we’ve learned that love is all but a hemorrhage

oh gratuitous war, how much you tempt me
to trample his doors, to leave him empty
oh funny how life goes
i call him a foe, a wretched man
but somehow i lose my throat halfway down my own broke road to him
