Black and Blue by Handful of Snowdrops Lyrics

Every breath of every sleepless night
Knocking your head
Until it opens wide
The smell on your pillow
More expired air
The stench of sweat and blood that
Turns on the man downstairs

The door creeks as he steps inside
Under the bed
There you crawl and hide
When he grabs and lifts you
Up by the hair
It’s raining spit, blows and curses
As he shoves you down the stairs

If you don’t leave your life behind
Your life will leave you
Black and Blue
(If you don’t change your mind
Your mind will change you)
If you don’t leave your life behind
Your life will leave you
Black and Blue
You choke and stumble on your words
Stuck in your mouth
All useless, vain and backward
The clicking sound of
Fears overcome
Is the last thing that you hear
Before you come undone
