Bleeding Out

Keith Landry

How it must feel to be owned by the musical machine.

BLEEDING OUT

You didn’t know me, lured me in like a tease
And now that you own me, you can play me whenever you please
Why did I ever let you into my soul
Now I know you’ll never let a part of me go

You sit back and smile
While I’m bleeding out

Keeping me dancing at the end of your chain
All the while, you’re demanding another Fire and Rain
Till I can’t get the voices to stay out of my head
Girl, I’m all out of choices - my sleeves are all red

You drive away the miles
While I’m bleeding out

Can’t you see I’ve given all I had
It’s one hell of a living, going mad
Now that I’m on your table, what do you see
Is it just some fable - Is it me

So you keep coursing through my veins
And I’ll keep forcing my way through the pain
I know it’s given you pleasure here at the end
Of my final measure - I don’t know if you’ll play me again

You just sit back and smile
And you keep dancing the aisle
Oh sure, you’ll check in once in a while
While I’m bleeding out
