Bloodletter

By Arliss Nancy (2013)
On album Wild American Runners (2016)

Wild American Runners
I know that you're probably getting sick of it
I ain't been asleep for days
My P.O., she took away my medicine
I don't think I'll ever leave this place
I guess that I never had a lick of sense
I have always been this way
Whiskey nights when we both claimed our innocence
But my bullshit lies, they gave it all away

Blood letter
Why don't you let her all bleed out
Why don't you let her all bleed out across the floor
Because I ain't got much time
No, I ain't got much time
I ain't got much time
I had been lost, but now I'm found within her eyes

I never said that I could be no good man
But time to time I'll buy some drinks
The evening sun hangs low over the hard land
But bare me no child, well I will buy no rings
So don't forget the gentle words I told you
Back when we both were kids
"Burn until the fire sweetly holds you
And never be sorry for the shit we did."

Blood letter
Why don't you let her all bleed out
Why don't you let her all bleed out across the floor
Because I ain't got much time
No, I ain't got much time
I ain't got much time
I had been lost, but now I'm found within her eyes
