i know johnny cut his hand
clear right to the bone
I'm proud of johnny he did stand
and wash it out on his own
the blood was flowin so damn fast
the scar and johnny say
johnny's nightmares finally passed
and nothin bleeds these days
Chorus
well nothin bleeds like a scalp-wound
it pours out like the nile
and every void in my heart soon
will bleed if/when you smile
but i'm immune to the sound and sight
it's a simple utter denial
Yeah, it seems nothin bleeds tonight
though you know, the blood's in style
Ann was waitin in the rain
for some sign from above
she is nothing but fear and pain
caused by lack of love
a poet she knows strolls slowly past
she wishes he could stay
windows shatter raining glass,
an' nothin bleeds these days
Chorus
I don't wanna have control
of all of my self
I'm already growing old
without stagnation's help
I don't wanna be able
to tell my heart to stay
i want emotions spilled like blood
but nothin bleeds these days
Chorus
