Bleeding With The Times Lyrics - Singles - Angels

(R. Brewster-Miller) 

I spend my life 

scratching in the dirt 

trying to find someone to clean me up 

and give back what I deserve 

there's footsteps from behind 

there's knocking on my door 

but there's nobody there 

I said I didn't need them any more 

Picking up pieces 

trying to make them fit 

thinking about Jesus 

shivering in the heat 

up against the world 

like a dead end kid 

you spend your life 

bleeding 

I see faces on the ceiling 

when I lie awake in bed 

and I can never shed the tears 

always damming up my head 

it's so easy to pretend 

I don't believe in 

all that I said 

Picking up pieces 

trying to make them fit 

thinking about Jesus 

shivering in the heat 

up against the world 

like a dead end kid 

you spend your life 

bleeding... 

You spend your life 

blaming the gods 

you believe in 

redirecting Valentines 

from Eden 

you've been trying 

you've been lying 

you've been crucifying 

you spend your life 

bleeding with the times 

I see myself 

silhouetted at the wheel 

like an alien without a friend 

nothing to conceal 

so I climb into the back seat 

and I wonder if it's love 

when it's down to getting naked 

it's just like any other photograph 

Picking up pieces 

trying to make them fit 

thinking about Jesus 

shivering in the heat 

up against the world 

like a dead end kid 

dreaming up speeches 

the rebel hypocrite 

only one step ahead 

of lying in the street 

you spend you life bleeding
