I was coming up for air

I was sick she was despair

My mind was thrilling

Her body was willing

Now I weep to sleep

I count the cost

I can't believe all that I have lost



Do you hear me?

Or feel me? Believe me? When I tell you could I bleed

Less than is needless, could you be

shamed damned and blamed

Like I shame you?



I was gonna get my share

I was drunk on the fetid air she was breathing

I was seething

She was blotched, beautiful bloody and bored

I was coming and coming and coming

It was running on her open sores



Do you hear me?

Or feel me? Believe me? When I tell you could I bleed

Less than is needless, could you be

shamed damned and blamed

Like I shame you?



I've got a legacy of hot night and bloody heights

I was biref baby

She was my my relief

Now I hide in the light and in the love

And in this fear of a 

Switchblade



Do you hear me?

Or feel me? Believe me? When I tell you could I bleed

Less than is needless, could you be

shamed damned and blamed

Like I shame you?

Like I shame you and you and you?

Like I shame you?

Like I shame you and you and you?

Like I shame you?
