Please Bleed

Ben Harper · Live From Mars [2001]

Make me feel like a beggar

Make me feel like a thief

Make me feel like a battle that cannot end in peace

Make me feel like running as if I've lost my nerve

Make me feel like crying tears I don't deserve



Please bleed

So I know that you are real

So I know that you can feel

The damage that you've done

Oh, who have I become

To myself I am numb

I am numb

I am numb



Is this really living

Sometimes it's hard to tell

Or is this just a kinder, gentler hell

Turn out the lights and let me stare into your soul

I was born and bled for you to hold



Never said thank you

Never said please

Never gave a reason to believe

So as it stands I remain on my knees

Good lovers make great enemies



Please bleed

So I know that you are real

So I know that you can feel

The damage that you've done

Oh, what have I become

To my self I numb

I am numb

I am numb
