The bloody river

Anthony Sweet

I’m human….I bleed. I guess i need to remember that….I’m not superhuman and I won’t save the world. The opposite usually occurs…I am swept away in the bleeding of my mind, the bleeding of my heart, my desperate needs and unholy wants…
I am swept away….
I am swept away….
in this bloody river….

There’s holes in me that tend to bleed
and running down my sleeve
it’s mixing with the heavy rain
tell me who’s the winner?

Now here in
I am swept away
in this bloody river

I’ll lift my head
i’ll lift my hand
try to get your attention
cause i need your touch
no fabricated touch, no voice overdub
