You brother didn't die of ten arrow wounds, But a white bullet, self-inflicted The call it staggered you, In apartments, tropical blooms, You see him as a child, It meant a lot to you, He did not leave you behind,
The words you use spill actual blood The words you use spill actual blood
The people that you trust cut you just the same, There's no shame, because it's hidden, Knife marks across her back, Don't talk about it, And no sleeveless dresses, Perform with a starchy grace, Her pulse rate, appearances,
The words you use spill actual blood The words you use spill actual blood
When you fall down, basalt, A sunday night, there was no time, To get your legs out straight, to put air, Into your silent face, Come back to life, open your eyes, Come back to life, open your eyes,
The words you use spill actual blood The words you use spill actual blood
