The Cardinal Sin - Bleed Lyrics

The sweat crawls down my face in beads
I take a sip from my canteen
Hear the rustling of the leaves
I jump to look over my tree
Gun in my face, you scream at me
Just a boy
Just a boy, just like me

I bleed
I bleed for all you
And I bleed
And I bleed

(Lay me down boys
Lay me down boys
Lay me down boys
Lay me down)

I said "Boy, please put that thing down"
But you couldn't understand my sounds
So I pulled the trigger and I cried and I cried and I cried

You bleed
You bleed to save me
But I still bleed
But I still bleed, 'cause now you're me

I'm coming home, I'm still alive
But war don't always end inside
Inside
The Mind
I saw your gun pointed at me
I wasted you so I'd still be
But you still
But you still ain't set me free

And when I saw you lying dead
Who knew you'd still aim for my head?

I fired a shot that set me free
But before too long, you captured me
Won't you please
Won't you please just let me be?
