Bleeders Lyrics

Would you ever believe that a fire is set each time I try to sleep
With all the beautiful friends that you always depend to stay in the light of fame
They want you there to save a life
But only if you're dressed in what they like

You sin for fun and fall away
You're just a pawn

Aren't you lucky you're a bleeder
Aren't you lucky you're a bleeder
So hold your razor wide
And swing it to the skies
Aren't you lucky you're a bleeder
Do what you need to stay alive

It happens every day
And its still fascinating
How after all this time
That anyone would want this life
Devoid of anything resembling light

You sin for fun and go away
You're just a pawn

Aren't you lucky you're a bleeder
Aren't you lucky you're a bleeder
So hold your razor wide
And swing it to the skies
Aren't you lucky you're a bleeder
Do what you need to stay alive

When the world feels like an empty pit
And demons rise around you
Have your vengeance
Find your salvation
Tear down

To seek revenge
In hell we end

Aren't you lucky you're a bleeder
Aren't you lucky you're a bleeder
So hold your razor wide
And swing it to the skies
Aren't you lucky you're a bleeder
Every one of us are Bleeders
Every one of us are Bleeders
So hold your razor wide
And swing it to the skies
Aren't you lucky you're a bleeder
Do what you need to stay alive

Cover art for Bleeders  lyrics by Black Veil Brides

The song itself is inspired by the Stephen Sondheim musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Lead Singer Andy Biersack said he was inspired by the story of Sweeney Todd via a CD copy of the Broadway cast recording of the 1979 Broadway production with Len Cariou portraying Todd & Angela Lansbury portraying his accomplice Mrs. Lovett. Biersack said his usage of darker themes and imagery in the band’s sound was first started by Sweeney Todd, and later other musicals like Phantom Of The Opera and eventually comic book characters like Batman, & bands like KISS and Misfits. Biersack said he wanted the song to not be solely about the character of Sweeney Todd, but to be “directly connected to me.”
