Hemorrhage

from Bare and Bones by Candace Coker Music

/

about

This song is all about growing through the messiness of relationship, and letting love be the thing that sustains through the growth and fear and everything in between.

lyrics

Verse1:
My mate, my soul,
How well you tease me
Crush all my bones
with your heart's beauty
Your infinite woes are now mine to carry
Cracks all over our home but we rest here deeply

Chorus 1:
When we first started out, we bled easy
So we'd try to run before any carnage
But we are older now, and we fly easy
Since we've learned that love is balm for the hemorrhage

Verse 2:
Remember all the wars,
how much they'd tempt me
to trample your doors,
to leave you empty?
But funny how life goes
I'd call you the foe, the wretched man
Then somehow I'd lose my throat
Halfway down my own broke road to blame, to blame

Chorus 2:
When we first started out, we bled easy
So we'd try to run before any carnage
But we are older now, and we fly easy
Since we've learned that love is balm for the hemorrhage

Interlude:

Chorus 3:
When we first started out, we bled easy
So we learned to run before any carnage, oh
But we are older now, and we fly, we fly easy my love, we fly easy my love, we fly

Chorus 4:
When we first started out, we bled easy
So we'd try to run before any carnage
But we are older now, and we fly easy
Since we've learned that love is balm for the hemorrhage
Learned that love is balm for the hemorrhage
