Blood
Unstoppable Bleeding: A Heart's Battle
Lyrics
You can take away the pain
You have the ability to alleviate emotional suffering.
But you can't stop the blood
Despite efforts to alleviate pain, the unavoidable reality persists.
You can kiss me on the face, oh
Physical gestures like kissing may not translate into genuine emotional connection.
But I won't feel the love
Even with affection, true love may be absent or unfelt.
I like it but I don't know
Uncertain feelings about a situation or relationship.
And I think maybe you should go
Suggesting that it might be better for the other person to leave.
I've tried to give in
Attempts to surrender or yield in a relationship.
Yeah, I've torn down my walls
Having broken down emotional barriers.
But all it left me feelin' was
Resulting in a sense of emptiness or extreme emotions.
Too much or not at all
Feeling overwhelmed, either too much or a complete absence.
I'm tired of trying
Fatigue from continuous efforts in a relationship.
Just love me and leave
Desiring love but also a desire for separation.
But I know that's not what I need
Acknowledging the contradiction between needs and desires.
I know I need to open up
A realization of the necessity to be vulnerable.
But I don't know where to start
Uncertainty about how to begin being vulnerable.
Cus tourniquets and shiny lips
External attempts to heal, like makeup, don't affect internal emotional wounds.
Do nothing for my heart
No external distractions or enhancements can mend emotional pain.
Yeah, you can find me sinkin'
A metaphorical descent into emotional despair or isolation.
To the bottom of the lake
Avoiding addressing emotional wounds by sinking deeper into despair.
Cus I don't treat the wounds
Choosing to ignore emotional injuries instead of addressing them.
I just find ways to numb the pain
Finding ways to escape emotional pain rather than facing it.
I know I need to open up
A repetition of the need to be open emotionally.
But I don't know where to start
Uncertainty about how to initiate emotional openness.
Cus tourniquets and shiny lips
Reiterating that external aids don't heal internal emotional wounds.
Do nothing for my heart
External distractions or enhancements don't affect emotional well-being.
Yeah, you can find me sinkin'
Continuation of the metaphorical descent into emotional despair or isolation.
To the bottom of the lake
Repeating the inclination to avoid emotional wounds.
Cus I don't treat the wounds
Reiteration of ignoring emotional injuries rather than addressing them.
I just find ways to numb the pain
Continued attempts to escape emotional pain instead of confronting it.
You can take it all away
Even if pain is temporarily alleviated, it resurfaces.
But it just comes back up
Attempts to replace old experiences with new ones, but it remains insufficient.
New people every day
New connections or experiences cannot fill the emotional void.
But it'll never be enough
An acknowledgment of shared dislike for the situation.
I hate it and I know you do too
Feeling lost and unsure of how to proceed.
And I don't know what to do
Repeating the idea that alleviating pain doesn't stop the underlying issues.
You can take away the pain
A repetition of the possibility of relieving pain but not preventing deeper issues.
But you can't stop the blood
Reiterating that external efforts may ease pain temporarily, but deeper issues persist.
You can take away the pain
Expressing the idea that temporary relief doesn't address root problems.
But you can't stop the blood
Repeating the notion that while pain can be eased, the underlying issues persist.
