I have an unhealthy fantasy (mm)
That I can't move and you carry me (mm)
Off of the battlefield scorched earth that once was green (mm)
Always of injury I dream
And in this sickening daydream (mm)
Down in the river you lay me (mm)
Picking out arrows from my crimson shoulder blades (mm)
You remark how much I'm in pain
And it's always in the dirt
It's always in the dust
Perpetually cleanin' one another's blood
Is it just the bleedin' part of me that loves?
When I'm emaciated
When you can see the bone
When you use all your gentleness to carry me home
Is it just the bleedin' part of me that loves?
Just like a tonic on my tongue (mm)
Momentary relief in words of love (mm)
And we'll chase that feeling, avoid all healing if need be (mm)
Do I need to be whole if you love me?
Here in the no Man's Land we lie (mm)
In the heat of the battle as your blood mixes with mine (mm)
There is no world in which we both make it out of here (mm)
It's one or the other now, my dear
And it's always in the dirt
It's always in the dust
Perpetually cleanin' one another's blood
Is it just the bleedin' part of me that loves?
When I'm emaciated
When you can see the bone
When you use all your gentleness to carry me home
Is it just the bleedin' part of me that loves?
It's always in the dirt
It's always in the dust
Perpetually cleanin' one another's blood
Is it just the bleedin' part of me that loves?
When I'm emaciated
When you can see the bone
When you use all your gentleness to carry me home
Is it just the bleedin' part of me that loves?
And it's always in the dirt
It's always in the dust
Perpetually cleanin' one another's blood
Is it just the bleedin' part of me that loves?
When I'm emaciated
When you can see the bone
When you use all your gentleness to carry me home
Is it just the bleedin' part of me that loves?
