Lyrics

You can bruise me
Take my mind off feeling empty
You're not falling for me
And i'm not falling for this
But I ache for empathy
And your touch is anesthetic
I can’t keep composed
Every note falls flat
In every movement
You can bruise me
Take my mind off feeling empty
Brush strokes of empathy
And bruise me, bruise me
What’s a summer spent dismissing cacophony?
A second coat of lacerations plastered
As compassion went, persisting no matter
I'll acquiesce, you've bound my tongue all along
You can bruise me
Take my mind off feeling empty
Brush strokes of empathy
And bruise me, bruise me
Another night spent tranquilized
Another sickness i've romanticized
I watch the blood seep everytime I lie
But we’re predictable
Innocence was quick to subside
Did you get your fix?
When should I quit?
We both know
If it keeps you full
I won’t put up a fight
It’s just one more thing to keep me up at night
Maybe I'm worth more than I perceive
I just wish that was something clear for me to see
You can bruise me
Take my mind off feeling empty
You can bruise me
Take my mind off feeling empty
Brush strokes of empathy
And bruise me, bruise me
(Seven years
And I couldn’t tell why the ache was worth it
But there’s purpose in impermanence
Some things are only here for the moment
Somethings aren’t meant to survive
The change of seasons
Some things aren’t forever
But for a reason)
