I was coming up for air<br />
I was sick, she was despair<br />
My mind was thrilling<br />
Her body was willing<br />
How I weep to sleep<br />
I count the cost<br />
I can't believe all that I have lost<br />
<br />
Do you hear me?<br />
Or feel me?<br />
Believe me?<br />
When I tell you could I bleed?<br />
Less than is needless, could you be<br />
Shamed, damned, and blamed, like I shame you?<br />
<br />
I was gonna get my share<br />
I was drunk on the fetid air<br />
She was breathing<br />
I was seething<br />
She was blotched, beautiful, bloody, and bored<br />
I was coming, and coming, and coming<br />
It was running on her open sores<br />
<br />
Do you hear me?<br />
Or feel me?<br />
Believe me?<br />
When I tell you could I bleed?<br />
Less than is needless, could you be<br />
Shamed, damned, and blamed?<br />
<br />
Do you hear me?<br />
Or feel me?<br />
Believe me?<br />
When I tell you could I bleed?<br />
Less than is needless, could you be<br />
Shamed, damned, and blamed, like I shame you?<br />
Like I shame you<br />
<br />
I've got a legacy of hot nights and bloody heights<br />
I was brief, baby<br />
She was my, my, my relief<br />
Now I hide in the light and in the love<br />
And in this fear of a switchblade<br />
<br />
Do you hear me?<br />
Or feel me?<br />
Believe me?<br />
When I tell you could I bleed?<br />
Less than is needless, could you be<br />
Shamed, damned, and blamed, like I shame you?<br />
Like I shame you, and you, and you?<br />
Like I shame you?<br />
Like I shame you, and you, and you?<br />
Like I shame you?
