at the darkest hour, on the longest night
I hear her calling out - calling out to me
in my private thoughts, after I've locked the door
she screams out my name - calling me back again

if I bleed, will it open your eyes
if I bleed, will it stop your doubts
if I bleed, will you understand
if I bleed for you

with the curtains closed, when the lights are out
i'm still not alone - she cries out my name
if I hide away, if I try to run
i feel her fingers cold - clawing at my mind

if I bleed, will it open your eyes
if I bleed, will it stop your doubts
if I bleed, will you understand
if I bleed for you
if I bleed, will the questions end
if I bleed, can I be alone
if I bleed, will you understand
if I bleed for you

when she touches me, and I try to speak
her eyes beseeching now - reaching out to me
when my heart is dead, when my bones are dust
will there be a cry - my name on her li
