I know you're half awake
And no hate and I know how to do it
Hold the door and let it out
Don't get it right or wrong
No I don't get it

I know you're half afraid
Half amazed, all insane
I know it's all a cage
And all the rage
And all together gone

You and me we're average with simple minds and lungs, eyes and skin
You and me we're hopeless we're nowhere hearts so tear it out
And open it

I'm giving blood tonight
I don't care how, don't care why
I'm giving blood tonight
I'm feeling just like I could give it all

I know you're sick and alone
Mothers and suckers alike
We can bleed together
We can bleed together
We can bleed we can bleed 
We can bleed together, oh yeah

Show me and hand me down
And hang me up alone and cold and bury me
Show me and throw me out
And hold me down, air me out
And wear me

I know you're half afraid
Half amazed, all insane
I know it's all a cage
And all the rage
And all together gone

I know you're sick and alone
Mothers and suckers alike
We can bleed together
We can bleed together
We can bleed we can bleed 
We can bleed together

Too altogether cold
Too altogether numb

I know you're sick and alone
I know you're sick and alone

I know you're sick and alone
Mothers and suckers alike
We can bleed together
We can bleed together
We can bleed together
We can bleed together

I know you're sick and alone
Mothers and suckers alike
We can bleed together
We can bleed together
We can bleed together
We can bleed together, oh yeah
