bryyn - black and blue


my heart is black and blue and the bottoms of my feet are
tired of the coals your dragging me through
i still love you and the only way for me to stop is
me to erase my first and last name

i once had love in my pocket
it took away everything understood
between the sad lines connecting happy times
i want to find places in the trees
in a boat full of salty water
its sinking down the sails full of holes

and worn out soles in my shoes
its making me tiresome to be 24 in a world made of war
where oil flows in our blood and red white and blue means Jesus loves everyone but you

my heart is black and blue and the bottoms of my feet are
tired of the coals your dragging me through
i still love you and the only way for me to stop is
me to erase my first and last name

i once knew you and could see 
everyday a symphony
clocks in time and open jaws
waiting for a bite of me
a bite of me it took 
right off my arm
starting from the fingers 
right down to the bone

worn out souls in our hearts
are making it tiresome to live in a world full of pain
will it stop when we feel all of the suffering
and know the legs of the lame

my heart is black and blue and the bottoms of my feet are
tired of the coals your dragging me through
i still love you and the only way for me to stop is
me to erase my first and last name
