Bleed Pretty

It is valentines day. The day when love is heart shaped.

Greville And The Tombstones is always about love and, if it existed as a band, it would be the Valentine's Ball band of choice, y'know, for the kids.

Also, as my darling @greebstreebling says: "It wouldn't be Valentine's Day without some dark devotional from you"

So here it is... a new track for my valentine.

It's called Bleed Pretty and is about love. It's a little too sugar sweet, but that's OK today.
We can be sugar sweet today.





Bleed Pretty :

My heart fell rotten from out of me.

Bruised, you picked it up.

You said it was easy for you to love.

You saw a heart for loss and ache from above.

You put my heart back in me

So I could bleed pretty.

My heart beats weak.

Shivers in night shade.

Fearful of a midnight pull.

Trembles with what it can feel.

Love’s edge is serrated

You keep your love sharpened

Because I bleed pretty.

My heart, my very heart.
The more you touch it, the more you possess it.

My heart breaks down.

You slice and expose it.

Peel it strip it.

You will always mend it

Taking care to stich it up so again you can break it

Over n’ over: repair to rip it.

All so I can bleed pretty.

I bleed easy.

I bleed easy for you.

You find the bloodletting pretty.

I bleed far too pretty
