Redemption - Bleed Me Dry lyrics

Bind to me – keep me in the shadows of your life Terrified – frightened I might step into the light Drinking deep from wells of bitterness within your soul Holding fast to self-deluding visions of control You're convinced that when you're done and the day is through The applause is just for you Paranoid – jealousy is all you've come to know Pettiness – make a friend into another foe And now everything is done, and the day is through Now there's no one left for you Twist the blade inside of me and bleed me dry ‘Cause there's nothing you can say to me to make things how they used to be again I have built a better life without your lies – and I will not be broken I don't need your blessing now I don't need your fantasies All your fictions don't sustain me anymore Breaking bonds, I'm setting myself free Twist the blade inside of me and bleed me dry ‘Cause there's nothing you can say to me to make things how they used to be again I have built a better life without your lies – and I will not be broken Blind to yourself and to why you pushed away Empty-handed and alone now at the end of the day All of your misguided claims are dead to me – did you think I'd let You dictate everything that I could be?
