Written for the band’s first full-length album Life in Dreaming, the song is a dedication to those who were victims of rape.

[Verse 1]
The cold concrete cuts against her back
And her spirit spills with blood onto the pavement
Hands tied so tight behind her neck
And a silence falls, and everything changes
And everything dies, to you nothing's enough, to you anymore
I guess you've gotten more than you might have wanted
[Chorus]
If I could take your pain away
I would scream for you
And I'll bleed for you (for you to feel this way)
So you'll never feel this way (again)
When you're in my arms (again)
I would scream for you
I will bleed for you
[Verse 2]
She drowns herself until the images erase
But the skin is bruised all along her thighs
Nightmares repeat refrain the memories all remain
In mental photographs haunting all the time
She shuts her eyes, to you she tries to hide
From you, she falls asleep into dreams where she is safe
[Chorus]
If I could take your pain away (away)
I would scream for you
And I'll bleed for you (for you to feel this way)
So you'll never feel this way (again)
When you're in my arms (again)
I would scream for you
I will bleed for you
[Bridge]
So put the weight on my shoulders
And the pain in my heart
Tie the knots in my stomach
And let it tear me apart
So tear me apart
Put the weight on my shoulders
And the pain in my heart
Tie the knots in my stomach
Let it tear me apart
(Tear me apart)
So tear me apart
And the silence strips me bare
And your body pins me down
I've never been so scared to breathe
Afraid to make a sound
But all I know (is you'll never let me go)
Just kick and scream, bite and bleed
And make believe it's all a dream
[Chorus]
If I could take your pain away
I would scream for you
And I'd bleed for you (for you to feel this way)
So you'll never feel this way (again)
When you're in my arms (again)
I would scream for you
I will bleed for you (pain away)
I would scream for you
I will bleed for you
