Bruised

Take me to the river
The ferry man
Stick me in the water
And send me home

I saw the lost
I saw my face within the spaces
Trapped between the now and then
As we wait for the end

We’ve only got this moment
’til our time is through
But moments aren’t enough
Save (this soul)
This soul belongs to you

Bruised and bleeding
We’ve lost all feeling
Systems adjust, reboot
We can’t go back
We fought and lost
Under attack

Doctor it’s hurting
Don’t desert me
I need help
The wound’s still bleeding
Help me fix it, burn it
Stitch it up
I need the medicine
The shot to make it stop
Tourniquet to turn it into
Something that I know it’s not

I saw the last thing
I could face today
Please bury this, just bury me
Trapped in the space between

As we wait for the end
We’ve only got this moment
’til our time is through
But moments aren’t enough
Save (this soul)
This soul belongs to you

Bruised and bleeding
We’ve lost all feeling
Systems adjust, reboot
We can’t go back
We fought and lost
Under attack

She’ll wait
Down by the river
‘til you come back home
But can you forgive her for what she’s done

No return, we’ve just begun
We’re one of all the billions breathing
Beat us down we can’t get lower
Bash and maim us, masses heaving

Bruised and bleeding
We’ve lost all feeling
Systems adjust, reboot
We can’t go back
We fought and lost
Under attack
Bruised and bleeding
We’ve lost all feeling
Systems adjust, reboot
We can’t go back
We fought and lost
Under attack

I can’t wait forever and a day
This masquerade, false promise
Finding masks to hide behind

We’ve only got this moment
’til our time is through
But moments aren’t enough
Save (this soul)
This soul belongs to you

Take me to the river
The ferry man
Stick me in the water
And send me home

Bruised and bleeding
We’ve lost all feeling
Systems adjust, reboot
We can’t go back
We fought and lost
Under attack
Bruised and bleeding
We’ve lost all feeling
Systems adjust, reboot
We can’t go back
We fought and lost
Under attack
