Bleeding Salt by Coffin Varnish Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You can drip venom in the cuts, try to hurt me
But I’ve been bleeding salt for years
You can scratch and prod at the scabs in my head
But pain isn’t the worst of my fears
Oh you remind me, someone noticed I’m alive
Keep it up baby, don’t stop now, I need your opinion to survive
And I’ve been crying, and it brings me to my knees
You could never hurt me like the voices that live inside me
[Chorus]
They say
“You’re not good enough
No one could love someone like you
You deserve every single misery you’vе gone through.”
They tell mе
“You have failed at everything you’ve ever done
It’s pathetic that you think you could mean something to someone.”
[Verse 2]
Nothing you can say to me has not been said on repeat deep inside my head
I’ve got a pretty little record player singing the words
So I don’t forget my place in the world
I must like to hurt, huh? I must like to bleed
I deserve the pain if I fail to succeed, so
Rip my heart out and feed it to the dogs
Make me good for something, scream a prayer out to the gods
As I’m bleeding out on your bathroom floor
Begging you for more, more, more
Hurt me baby, make it worth your time
It feels better when it’s your voice instead of mine saying-
[Chorus]
“You’re not good enough
No one could love someone like you
You deserve every single misery you’ve gone through.”
They tell me
“You have failed at everything you’ve ever done
It’s pathetic that you think you could mean something to someone.”
[Bridge]
I can be a toy, I can suit your needs
I can grow a new persona like a lawn grows weeds
I can play along, I can do what you like
If you want to hurt me then that’s alright
I’m just happy to be in your collection, I’ll pretend pain is a form of affection
Love me till I’m bleeding, love me till I’m dead
Love me till you hate me and I’m stuck inside your head
Maybe it’s pathetic, am I trying too hard?
I just want a taste of being adored
I’ll take the poison, I’ll take the pain, I’ll take anything at all even if you’re saying-
[Outro]
“You have failed at everything you’ve ever done
It’s pathetic that you think you could mean something to someone.”
You can drip venom in the cuts, try to hurt me
But I’ve been bleeding salt for years
You can scratch and prod at the scabs in my head
But pain isn’t the worst of my fears
Oh you remind me, someone noticed I’m alive
Keep it up baby, don’t stop now, I need your opinion to survive
And I’ve been crying, and it brings me to my knees
You could never hurt me like the voices that live inside me
[Chorus]
They say
“You’re not good enough
No one could love someone like you
You deserve every single misery you’vе gone through.”
They tell mе
“You have failed at everything you’ve ever done
It’s pathetic that you think you could mean something to someone.”
