Bleed me dry is about governments taking more than ever and giving back nothing. - Pre-save the new album here https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/cosmicdawg/rewind-the-time?ref=release - ***Lyrics*** - I hammer the steel and I sweat in the heat, I’m carving a path through the frost on the street. And every time I build a fire to beat the cold, An invisible hand comes to grab for the coals. I’m walking a wire that’s frayed at the end, While you’re leaning in heavy on a broken pretence. I plant the orchard and I water the roots, But you’re the one sitting there stealing the fruits! - You’re the shadow in the corner You’re the creak in the floor You’re the uninvited guest With a key to my door! - So open the vein, yeah, take what you see, Leave the ghost of the man that I used to be. You’ve got a hunger that never gets full, You’re sharpening blades and you're coming for us all. You’re counting the heartbeats I have left to spend, You’re breaking the back that you promised to defend. Go on and take it, don’t leave me a lie, Just put me on the table and bleed me dry! Yeah, bleed me dry! Yeah, you bleed me dry! - I’m paying a toll just to stand on the ground, I’m paying for air when there’s none to be found. You’re building a tower that reaches the sun, On the backs of the many for the sake of the one. I’m just a gear in your corrupted machine, That grinds up the weak to keep your hands clean. You don't need a face and you don't need a name, To keep the world fighting for your material gain! - You’re the leak in the bucket You’re the rust on the chain You’re the one getting dry While I’m out in the rain! - So open the vein, yeah, take what you see, Leave the ghost of the man that I used to be. You’ve got a hunger that never gets full, You’re sharpening blades and you're coming for us all. You’re counting the heartbeats I have left to spend, You’re breaking the back that you promised to defend. Go on and take it, don’t leave me a lie, Just put me on the table and bleed me dry! Yeah, bleed me dry! Yeah, you bleed me dry! - The well is low! And the fire’s gone! But still you’re there At the break of dawn! You take the blood! And you take the light! Take the rest of the day And the rest of the night! ARE YOU SATISFIED?! - So open the vein, yeah, take what you see, Leave the ghost of the man that I used to be. You’ve got a hunger that never gets full, You’re sharpening blades and you're coming for us all. You’re counting the heartbeats I have left to spend, You’re breaking the back that you promised to defend. Go on and take it, don’t leave me a lie, Just put me on the table and bleed me dry! - So open the vein, yeah, take what you see, Leave the ghost of the man that I used to be. You’ve got a hunger that never gets full, You’re sharpening blades and you're coming for us all. You’re counting the heartbeats I have left to spend, You’re breaking the back that you promised to defend. Go on and take it, don’t leave me a lie, Just put me on the table and bleed me dry! Yeah, bleed me dry! Yeah, you bleed me dry! Yeah, you bleed me dry!more
