Your Bruises - song

​Your bruises colour me
Paint my mind like a memory
Slow down time in my reverie
Empty me of air
 
The razors when you speak
Take me back to hide-and-seek
Find my body hollow, weak
Hungry for despair
 
[Chorus]
And I know it’s all gone now
It’s time to carry on now
I’ve been getting it all wrong now
No longer need to stay
 
You’re protected by intent
Fists beating on hard cement
Told yourself you’re heaven-sent
Crawling into me
 
But my body’s not your home
My light is not for you to own
So now your kingdom’s overthrown
I’m setting myself free
 
[Chorus]
And I know it’s all gone now
It’s time to carry on now
I’ve been getting it all wrong now
No longer need to stay
And I know I’ve been found now
The past is hallowed ground now
And it’s time to turn around now
The child’s faded away
