Until I Bled Myself of You

from Ophelia (EP) by A Flower in Disguise

/

lyrics

Talked down with shovels and told me I’m troubled
They say they’re saving me?

But faith is what broke me
But the waiting is what woke me up
From what forced me closed
Made me lonely as it stood me up
A stranger so estranged to features in the same place

Fuck the tropes, the hero of the story, the underdog’s glory, a glow up
And the applause because in my dreams I’ve seen and felt the balloons fall
They said the floors are hard on the knees

I held my breath until I was too blue in the head
Red in the face and eyes is what all the crying will do
Sticks and stones, but my brain’s beaten black and blue
I held my breath until I bled myself of you, bled myself of you
From the green veins, I belong to the dirt
You are at page one of my story
Rolling me in my grave

Skull caved, the sockets ruined, by the stoning
My teeth all missing from my mouth
Before you know what I’m about
Before you see me

Talked down with shovels and told me I’m troubled
They say they’re saving me?

The waiting is what woke me up
From what forced me closed
Made me lonely as it stood me up
The kiss if of true love, taste of freedom
A stranger so estranged to features in the same place

Fuck the tropes, the hero of story, the underdog’s glory, a glow up
And the applause because in my dreams I’ve seen and felt the balloons fall
They said the floors are hard on the knees

I held my breath until I was too blue in the head
Red in the face and eyes is what all the crying will do
Sticks and stones, but my brain’s beaten black and blue
I held my breath until I bled myself of you, bled myself of you
From the green veins, I belong to the dirt
You are at page one of my story
Rolling me in my grave
