Bleed Slow

Lyrics

Pages fold, words spill in spirals, a river of broken clocks, block the aisles

“Someday we’ll be more than shadows, someday we’ll ignite like suns—” but the words choke themselves,

and she just looks on

He builds towers from syllables, a cathedral of unfinished prayers, but her silence is a blade, pressing lightly on his throat

He hopes she’s listening— but she’s just waiting, waiting, waiting. jaw locked, pulse quaking longing to prove it in blood.

Oh, we bleed slow— We bleed cold Twin Breaths on bone Oh, Two storms alone Yes I bleed slow Yes we bleed slow Slow… Slow… Slow… Slow…

“We could be more, we could be endless, we could be fire, we could be endless…”

Tongues tied in different hells, one drowning in himself one burning like a liar— no light between storms.

Communication crucified, intention petrified.

Oh, we bleed slow— We bleed cold Twin Breaths on bone Oh, Two storms alone Yes I bleed slow Yes we bleed slow Slow… Slow… Slow… Slow…

“We could be more, we could be endless, we could be fire, we could be endless…
