B LEED me dry

Bind to me – keep me in the shadows of your life
Terrified – frightened I might step into the light
Drinking deep from wells of bitterness within your soul
Holding fast to self-deluding visions of control
Youre convinced that when youre done and the day is through
The applause is just for you
Paranoid – jealousy is all youve come to know
Pettiness – make a friend into another foe
And now everything is done, and the day is through
Now theres no one left for you
Twist the blade inside of me and bleed me dry
'Cause theres nothing you can say to me to make things how they used to be again
I have built a better life without your lies – and I will not be broken
I dont need your blessing now
I dont need your fantasies
All your fictions dont sustain me anymore
Breaking bonds, Im setting myself free
Twist the blade inside of me and bleed me dry
'Cause theres nothing you can say to me to make things how they used to be again
I have built a better life without your lies – and I will not be broken
Blind to yourself and to why you pushed away
Empty-handed and alone now at the end of the day
All of your misguided claims are dead to me – did you think Id let
You dictate everything that I could be?
