We All Bleed

We run light footed upon the wind
Like nights slipping away
Or cold damp air, poisoned dream
Waking at any hour
And coming upon an open chair
Open cell when I cry
Ink filled paper
To erase our dreams

Ten floors away, I looked down praying to
Open the window, open this window

It sealed my lungs, that's what they said
(We flow like butterflies in summer blissful morning)
It sealed my lungs every last inch
And I missed your call while not waiting
(We never open up to close wounds long left for bleeding)
Its always this way, always this way

It's always this way (Nothing)
It's always this way (changes)
It's always this way (Nothing)
It's always this way (changes)

Nothing (Let me bleed my heart)
Changes (Let me bleed my soul)
Nothing (Let me bleed my heart)
Changes (Let me bleed my soul)

The envelopes, they're always empty
From all the words not sent

We (Let me bleed my soul)
We all try to be heroes but our capes
Have fallen off (Let me bleed my soul)
So I stand staggered smile
By a falling branch (Let me bleed my soul)
So I try, reaching out, die
With open arms (Let me bleed my soul)
Where I sit pretending it's not gone, but it never changes
