The memory of the bruise induced the need   the need to let the secrets bleed   you need to tell, in order to be freed   my brother needs the needle and I need peace   Couldn't remember in six months time   a gift to myself, perforated line   spent my time in exile for all my crimes   wasn't it buried, why's it still alive   ah- ha, ah-ha, ah-ha   she needs to hear, cuz she needs to sleep   i need to sleep, in order to retrieve   it was a day that was slowly erased   she traces a face that she hasn't seen   There is a grief from a hole in the head   there is a lie from the center of the heart   there is a tree that we hung it all on   maybe this is the day that it all falls down   ah- ha, ah-ha, ah-ha   traces of a face that she hasn't seen   bruise from news that she hasn't heard   blood from a cut, but she don't know where   ah- ha, ah-ha, ah-ha   the memory of the bruise induced the need   the need to let the secrets bleed   the memory of the bruise induced the need   the need to let the secrets bleed
