lyrics

Hey there my babe you know I’ve left my wounds wide open for you.
They cut a hole in my side to excise a piece for you.

Oh, so deep and so numb that we nearly succumbed.
Oh, you’re cleaning my wounds, growing larger and
Oh, so deep and so numb that we nearly succumbed
Oh, keep tending your heart, it’s a wound from the start.

With death on the sill, there is soil to till, there’s sun to spend.
You planted a tree in the sunniest spot behind our house.

Oh, you planted a tree and you fed my IV.
Oh, keep cleaning my wounds growing larger and
Oh, you kept us alive for the shade we provide.
Oh, keep tending your heart, it’s a wound from the start.

I see you cringe at the state that I’m in like it’s you in the bed
you see me flinch at the cringe on your lips like it’s me in the chair
blood flowing through flowing out flowing back flowing round and around.
