Christine Woodrich - Bleed

Poor girl
Fragile heart decrepit.
But his morals
Remain unaffected.
Poor girl
Violated and subverted
Because her stepdad
Is so fucking perverted.

Bleed to kill the pain.
Bleed to wash away.
Bleed to feel again
When I go numb.
Bleed today to die.
Bleed so I can cry.
Bleed, let out a sigh
For now relief has come.

Sharp blades
Looked so welcoming.
But an addiction
Was not forthcoming.
Subdued by
It's power over her.
She cries
But it doesn't matter.

Bleed to kill the pain.
Bleed to wash away.
Bleed to feel again
When I go numb.
Bleed today to die.
Bleed so I can cry.
Bleed, let out a sigh
For now relief has come.

She lays weak
So gracefully bleeding.
A sick soul
So tired of needing.
All she wanted
Was to feel alive.
But too late.
There's no going back this time.

Bleed to kill the pain.
Bleed to wash away.
Bleed to feel again
When I go numb.
Bleed today to die.
Bleed so I can cry.
Bleed, let out a sigh
For now relief has come.

(This song is dedicated to my friend Kara, who knows just what rape is like and helped me write the end of this song.)
