Still Bleed Human
8.16.04

I need to go to bed
But thoughts chase me in ring-around circles
Until I fall
And the flowers, they fall
Upon my head
The blood draining from my face
Don’t burry my memory
I’m not dead, yet
I just need to fall asleep
For a little awhile...

And I’ll sleep for a destiny’s length
Like the legend’s nightmare from so long ago
But I won’t wake with the foretold kiss
The smiling prince can’t save my soul
He rests in a dusty street
Laziness overtaking
Because we’re not that important
The souls lined up for salvation
Not that important, after all

I need to wake up
But dreams, they chase me in lullabies
And sing me to sleep
Within the very nightmares I was hiding from
I hide from everything
Or I run, faster than moments-
Scattered on a sea-birthed wind
Falling from the womb of the lullabies
That keep me from waking
For now...

And I’ll sleep for a destiny’s length
Like the legend’s nightmare from so long ago
And I won’t wake in time to give that foretold kiss
I’m a smiling prince, a lazy prince
And you can’t save my soul
I’m covered up
I’m hiding out
I’m running from myself
And through the mask, I still bleed human
I still feel doubt

I still bleed human...
I still feel doubt.
We are still human...
And we bear the doubt.
