Bleed
A New January Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And if you present a plan
For something outrageous
Expect me to ponder
Not that it'll change us

I try to save up the plan
Then try to perfect the scheme
Move a little closer

(I love how you bleed)
You know I want it to drip
I love how it feels
You're my favorite addiction
(I love how you bleed)

Hungry blood shot eyes
Just like the trembling knees
Of a hairy spider with nothing to eat
With my tiny mouth and my scratchy fleas

I'm dying to slow down
(I love how you bleed)
