VERSE 1

‘I’ll watch you keep digging at your grave,

But no I can’t keep making you make my mistakes.

You know I’m only at my best at sunset my dear,

So follow me until the darkness now,

Now.’

VERSE 2

‘Our bones are so broken & bruised I don’t know where,

Or when you’ll get that necceassary gasp of untouched air.

I want nothing more that you & your atoms on a leash,

So that our wants & desires can one day be in sync.

[But I want it] now.’

CHORUS

‘And I’m sorry for taking away your only wish,

To have a love in something much greater & more than ‘this’.

But I’ll never let you forfeit,

Because without you I am drained.

‘Bloodless’.’

VERSE 3

‘And as you realise you finally fit into your grave,

I say ‘Why don’t you rather bury our mistakes?’.

But as I look back into the horrible mess you’ve made,

I read that the grave-stone spells only ‘fate’,

[Can I be your] fate?

BRIDGE

‘Don’t hide,

Don’t hide.

You say I’ve let you down two too many times.

But I’m sick,

I’m so sick.

I won’t stop ‘till the sun sets us apart from ‘this’.’

CHORUS

‘And I’m sorry for taking away your only wish,

To have a love in something much greater & more than ‘this’.

But I’ll never let you forfeit,

Because without you I am drained.

‘Bloodless’.’

OUTRO

‘But I want it now,

I won’t let your pulse down.

Oh no,

I can’t let you drown.

‘Cos then I’m left ‘bloodless’.’
