Bleeding Hands

Verse 1

I speak the truth you hate

So you carve my name in mud

Swallow every bitter word I say

Then you smile and call it love

You wanted something soft to hold

I handed you a mouthful of nails

You wanted something warm to keep

I gave you every honest scar

Pre-Chorus

And I know it cuts

Yeah I know it stings

But the lie you keep

Is the rope you bring

Chorus

I speak the truth you hate

I speak it loud and slow

I speak the truth you hate

And I will not let it go

You can bury every syllable

You can curse me where I stand

I speak the truth you hate

With these bleeding hands

Post-Chorus

Spit it out

Spit it out

Say it once

Say it now

Verse 2

You built your castle out of glass

Then blamed me when the storm arrived

You screamed at every honest mirror

Just to keep the pretty lie alive

I am the voice inside your throat

The one you strangle every night

I am the fracture in your chest

That keeps you begging for a fight

Pre-Chorus

And it burns so slow

And it tastes so wrong

But the truth I hold

Is the only song

Chorus

I speak the truth you hate

I speak it loud and slow

I speak the truth you hate

And I will not let it go

You can bury every syllable

You can curse me where I stand

I speak the truth you hate

With these bleeding hands

Post-Chorus

Spit it out

Spit it out

Say it once

Say it now

Bridge

Maybe I was cruel

Maybe I was kind

Maybe I was everything

You refused to find

Maybe you were lonely

Maybe so was I

Maybe we were two dead stars

Too proud to say goodbye

Breakdown

I

Speak

The

Truth

You

Hate

Chorus

I speak the truth you hate

I speak it loud and slow

I speak the truth you hate

And I will not let it go

You can bury every syllable

You can curse me where I stand

I speak the truth you hate

With these bleeding hands

Outro

I speak the truth you hate

(I speak the truth)

I speak the truth you hate

(I speak the truth)

With these bleeding hands

With these bleeding hands
