Bruised Fruit

Blood is what I can’t escape
Harbored in the DNA
Finger on a trigger now
Figuring out just how did we get this far
How did it get so hard
Twinkle in your eye is gone
You did nothing right, you did nothing wrong
There’s pictures of you on the wall
But no one seems to recall the love that you gave
The love that you forsake
And I want you to know
You won’t cry alone
You’re in me when I stay
You’re in me when I bleed
You’re in me when I pray
You’re in me when I leave, oh yeah
Till the lights go out some day
Tangle in a southern state
Wrestling with a little thing
Urgency inside your eyes
Wishing that somehow did we get this far
How did it get oh so hard
Bruised fruit on the kitchen floor
Gravity we can’t escape
Teach me to be all alone
Teach me to belong to nothing but blood
Oh nothing, oh nothing, nothing, nothing, oh, but blood
Nothing but blood
And I want you to know
You won’t cry alone
You’re in me when I sting
You’re in me when I bleed
You’re in me when I pray
You’re in me when I leave
Till the lights go out some day
You’re in me when I sting
You’re in me when I bleed
You’re in me when I pray
You’re in me when I leave alone, yes you are, yes you are
Till the lights go out some day
