Done Bleeding (demo)

[Intro]

This is called "Done Bleeding"

One, two, three, and...

[Verse 1]

Recite the songs that kept me whole

On the day I hand over command control

Try to let them all flow into this one

List alphabetically

The toxins the doctors found in me

During my time in prison

[Chorus]

Count my fingers

Every last one

When I get done

[Verse 2]

Clean the floors well, sweep and swap

Do a thorough job

Leave the old place nicer than I found it

Wish well as the neighbors cheer and shout

Finally taking their earplugs out

Things were even worse here than they sounded

[Chorus]

Grim-faced pilots

Back from the bombing run

When I get done

[Bridge]

Take a picture or two

Just to remember the view

Leave a mark on the door

As an empty warning sign

From one who's gone before

But isn’t here any more

[Chorus]

Let the crust form

On my skin in the sun

When I get done

[Verse 3]

Sweep the front porch make it new

Put the broom away when I get through

No passersby need know of my lonely tenure

Oh this riot of light

The shock of leaves

Wind rippling in my sleeves

Swirling against my skin as in a blender

[Chorus]

Red thread drying behind me

Hands clamped

When I get done
