Woman, with a history of abuse by males, trapped in an oppressive relationship. She rages against males, and against herself, and the chains and imperatives of her sexuality; but is determined to gain her independence......one day.
Style/Mood: light rock. Medieval quality to music, to contrast her rage (the lyrics) with her inner beauty and fragility.
Lyrics
Bleeding Hearts
I feel your hot breath on my neck
Every time I turn around
You think the only thing I need
Is to go down down down down
Yeh you think you've taken my full measure
For your pleasure at your leisure
Nothing I can do will ever change your bloody tune
Chorus
Oh I'll be free of you one day
These years will die and I'll stay
Yes I'll be free of this one day
What you've got I won't need
I'll be strong I won't bleed
Bleeding hearts bleeding lies bleeding days
You'll be old on your knees
I'll be strong I'll be me
Bleeding hearts bleeding sky bleeding pain
My father watches over me
In a dream I have some nights
I did what any child would do
“Daddy don't turn out the lights”
No they don't forgive even if you're pretty
Life's too fast no time for pity
Screw the match girl in the snow
You're all the bloody same
I grew I changed I got like this
I was just a woman child
A fool for any man I met
All it cost you was a smile
Now my nights are bitter days are lonely
Sun is shining for you only
But with the pain inside my guts
I can feel a bloody flame
Chorus
(Optional Interlude:
You get from life what it will give you.
Some things I’d rather not have known.
I’m somebody’s wife, someone to cling to.
I’d have been better alone. On my own.
