Bleed

If there was a poet Somewhere deep inside Drowning in the ocean Of the tears you never cried I would there was a lighthouse For the shoreline in your eyes I would meet you I would teach you How to bleed And since you been a painter And your work has all been young You never had the color That could ever move someone That alone is painful Oh but I have been the one Come to meet you Come to teach you How to bleed I've been to the movies I've been to the moon I've lived a half-lit life all in search of you And I found you when I did And I lost you like I do And I never bled so much Since I met you Remember we were soldiers Just come home from war And over beers we wondered What the memories were for I leaned back, I asked you What could be sweeter than the sword? You would meet me You would teach me How to bleed I've been to the movies I've been to the moon I've lived a half-lit life all in search of you And I found you when I did And I lost you like I do And I never bled so much Since I met you If there was a king That'd come to play the fool And he carried cross, and all he ever got Was ridiculed There he is and his eyes are red And he's looking right at you I will meet you I will teach you How to bleed
