Analysis of Watch Me Bleed
Cassie McCauley 1977 (UT)
Do you want to watch me bleed?
See the pain released from me?
Leave this life of insanity?
Or is it just your darkest dream?
Losing you I thought I'd die
you don't know the weeks I cried
you told me you'd love me an eternity
wish you would.. have just killed me.
Do you want to watch me bleed?
See the pain released from me?
Leave this life of insanity?
Or is it just your darkest dream?
I live in silent screaming pain
a sense of love I will never regain
am I destined to be alone?
to wade through this darkness on my own?
Do you want to watch me bleed?
See the pain released from me?
Leave this life of insanity?
Or is it just your darkest dream?
I don't know, don't really care
cause when I open my flesh, the pain isn't there
blood pours out, a violent sedative
another days gone by, I guess I'm gonna live.
Do you want to watch me bleed?
See the pain released from me?
Leave this life of insanity?
Or is it just your darkest dream?
Watch me, watch me, watch me
