Here are the Lyrics

Verse 1

I’ve been bleeding well from this old wound

Cleaning it with salt, so it will still feel new

Sometimes eyes turn black, and sometimes scars are tracks

But every time that you’re gone I wish that you’d come back

Chorus

And everyone watched me waste myself

And everyone cheered at last

And all of them found it comforting

Its better it’s me then them.

Verse 2

I think I’m doing well from what they say

They’ve taken both my belt and shoelaces away

Well I believe in luck, I think I do

Well I believe for sure, If ever I see you

Verse 3

I’ve been fanning flames from these old coals

Feeding them with tender, And hoping they will grow

And I’ve been savoring what I can’t hold

A blind belief in goodness, that doesn’t seem to show

Outro

But I’ve been bleeding well

From this old wound

Cleaning it with salt,

So it will still feel new
