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 lips
