Bruiseless Lyrics

Lyrics

Bruiseless

From My Soft Machine2023

Written by Arlo Parks

Produced by Arlo Parks

Lyrics

Bruiseless

I wish I was bruiseless Almost everyone that I love has been abused, and I am included I feel so much guilt that I can't guard more people from harm We listen to Loomer, lumps in my head I struggle to smooth The person I love is patient with me She's feeding me cheese and I'm happy Like a Peony ripped by the chain of a dirt bike I just wish I was seven and blameless Going over the handlebars Pollen sniffling over grazes I just wish that my eyes were still wide
