Bruise

The memory of the bruise induced the need
the need to let the secrets bleed
you need to tell, in order to be freed
my brother needs the needle and I need peace
Couldn't remember in six months time
a gift to myself, perforated line
spent my time in exile for all my crimes
wasn't it buried, why's it still alive
ah- ha, ah-ha, ah-ha
she needs to hear, cuz she needs to sleep
i need to sleep, in order to retrieve
it was a day that was slowly erased
she traces a face that she hasn't seen
There is a grief from a hole in the head
there is a lie from the center of the heart
there is a tree that we hung it all on
maybe this is the day that it all falls down
ah- ha, ah-ha, ah-ha
traces of a face that she hasn't seen
bruise from news that she hasn't heard
blood from a cut, but she don't know where
ah- ha, ah-ha, ah-ha
the memory of the bruise induced the need
the need to let the secrets bleed
the memory of the bruise induced the need
the need to let the secrets bleed
