lyrics

Bruise

When you feel like your going to loose, it reminds me of a bruise
Pinned upon your arm, it won’t do you no harm
And when they start to tighten the noose, I think its going to bruise
But that’s what life’s about, sometime you have to shout

I wonder what you would say
When he comes a begging
Falling onto one knee
It always leaves you laughing

When the rough outweighs the smooth, the purple blackened bruise
Pounds with a dulling ache, conscious and awake
Pushed to a corner, a bleeding lip, a soul so broken a sprint into a limp
Stripped way down to the core, this body can’t bruise no more

I wonder what you would say
When he comes a begging
Falling onto one knee
It always leaves you laughing


Stripped way down to the core, this body can’t bruise no more
