Bleeding Heart
New year's eve
Not a night I would spend
Outside of this city
For how should I wander
To be among strangers
When a friend's in need of me?
Alone in that hospital
Attached to a million devices
Keeping him a little stable
Who knew he would break?
And fall down unchained
Like flags from the rooftops
Our bodies from our spirits
Dear revolutionaries
Not a sword I would bear
For my own security
As I lie here in pain
Believing that i'm numb
I fumble for my way
Out of this wreckage
The sight of explosives
Today, they'll tell the children
That a brother of them was killed
A brother they never knew before
And they'll shout out his name
But that woman's bleeding heart
It will silence all voices
For that woman's bleeding heart
It bleeds for us tonight
"Attached to a million wires." It sounds like you've seen some of the things that are unseen and hidden from most. --Michael. Sunday-1-1-2012 5:17 AM PST
