Blood Letter / I Been by Bxdy Hxrrxr Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I bet this is gettin' old
To always be two tones out of touch
I’ve been told I'm too damn good for my good, my bad
I didn't mean to make you mad
Had it all in the palm of my hand
And needed to crush it up until it’s black
And the panic sets in…
As you sink your teeth in and get a taste
[Chorus 1]
I bet you'd love to put me down
Dip my toes into a different dimension
And everything was alright
Little did I know
I bet you'd hate to see me take lead
Knowin' that I know, nothin' at all
Run round with my head off
Little blood letter
[Verse 1]
I said I don't need a reason, just time and place
Hidin' in a staircase
I've been told this is falling to fire and flame from pan
I’ve never had an itch this bad
Got mеans and motive
But no opportunities presеnt
One can only ever hope
That God’ll find and strike me where I stand
[Chorus 2]
I bet you lost your goddamn mind
Seein' me dressed up all like a doll
Frail and faint and false
Little did I know
I bet you take aim or take flight
Confronted and actually not so tall
Where do you think your heads gone?
Little blood letter
[Chorus 3]
I bet you kept it confidential
Never to speak, never to turn
The cheek so scorned still hurts
Little did I know
I bet you want to see it through
Telling the bluebird when I lick my wounds
Don’t you get it confused
Little blood letter
[Outro]
I've been leavin' my blood to dry
Lettin' everyone down
I’ve been bruisin' my brow again
Lettin' my head fill with doubt
I wish I'd never left the treadmill...
I've been pullin' stems from my head
Lettin' my hair fall out
I am the six or seven things
God swears to keep you off
[Audio Clip]
“You know every day he told me… Again and again (and again). He said, ‘Darlene! Darlene? Don't you go talk to God! If you do I fear I won't ever make it to Heaven!'”
“And you know, I told him. I told him right there, I said ‘Ha! Foolish boy! You never would've made it in the first place!'”
I bet this is gettin' old
To always be two tones out of touch
I’ve been told I'm too damn good for my good, my bad
I didn't mean to make you mad
Had it all in the palm of my hand
And needed to crush it up until it’s black
And the panic sets in…
As you sink your teeth in and get a taste
[Chorus 1]
I bet you'd love to put me down
Dip my toes into a different dimension
And everything was alright
Little did I know
I bet you'd hate to see me take lead
Knowin' that I know, nothin' at all
Run round with my head off
Little blood letter
[Verse 1]
