Bleeding Me Dry Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's something I need to confess
Now that we're out of this mess
Your love suffocated my soul
I'm sorry that I was so
Blindly devoted, you swallowed me whole
And all of this tension was taking its toll
The whiskey and wine that we drank till we're blind
The farther and farther we're lost in the sands of time
[Pre-Chorus]
I lose, you win
We're both losing
When I'm with you
You leave me swallowed
[Chorus]
Whole
From the mountains to the sea
Nothing here belongs to me
(I'm swallowed) Whole
See the end, but cannot speak
Rotten tongue and broken teeth
I'm always wrong but when I'm right
It doesn't come without a fight
You're bleeding me
Dry
[Post-Chorus]
You
(Bleed)
Me
(Dry)
You're bleeding me
(Dry)
You
(Bleed)
Me
(Dry)
[Verse 2]
There's no pain without living life
This liquor helps cope with the strife
We talked of you being my wife
Picket fences, some kids, and two bikes
But all that was a fantasy lost in our haze
Through all of the weed smoke and piles of cocaine
A pharmacy of Vicodin, Percs, refillers
You and I were worst friend's best painkillers
[Pre-Chorus]
I guess it's true
I don't love you
If I don't go
You'll leave me swallowed
[Chorus]
Whole
From the mountains to the sea
Nothing here belongs to me
(I'm swallowed) Whole
See the end, but cannot speak
Rotten tongue and broken teeth
I'm always wrong but when I'm right
It doesn't come without a fight
You're bleeding me
Dry
[Bridge]
'Cause anywhere was better than here
Now your demons hold you dear
[Refrain]
Never lookin' back, never lookin' back
A second-class citizen, the straw that broke my fuckin' back
Never lookin' back, never lookin' back
I'll keep taking punches
Until my eyes are turned to black
[Solo: Robb Flynn & Reece Scruggs]
[Chorus]
Whole
From the mountains to the sea
Nothing here belongs to me
(I'm swallowed) Whole
See the end, but cannot speak
Rotten tongue and broken teeth
I'm always wrong but when I'm right
It doesn't come without a fight
You're fucking bleeding me
Dry
[Post-Chorus]
You
(Bleed)
Me
(Dry)
You're fucking bleeding me
(Dry)
You
(Bleed)
Me
(Dry)
You're fucking bleeding me
(Dry)

This track is about the ultimate end of a troubled relationship that started good but ended up in a feud, with a significant other being the one who is causing the relationship to turn sour. They're controlling, always insisting they're right, but only let you win at the end of a fight. In the beginning, their 'love' made you blind to the signs, putting you into a fantasy dream of picket fences and two kids. After years of using alcohol and painkillers to numb the pain of the love-strained relationship, you have to cut the tie and let it die. And in the end, you feel satisfaction, and tell them how soul-sucking being together with them was. It's basically about leaving a bad relationship, escaping someone whose controlling, and never looking back at them.
