[Title] A Lifetime of Bleeding Hearts [Verse 1] I've lived a life with a heart that's been torn, Each beat a confession, a throb in the morn. A wounded lone wolf, my days now forlorn, My spirit, a shadow, in the dusk is born. [Chorus] I've bled for the beliefs that they'd hold dear, A stranger to all, I've grown distant and clear. I'm alien to me, alien to them, A stranger to us, to humanity's hem. [Verse 2] Through the years, I've been lost in the fray, Amidst the cries of the wounded, I'd sway. My soul, a vessel, on the sea of despair, Drifting, adrift, with no lighthouse to bear. [Chorus] I've bled for the beliefs that they'd hold dear, A stranger to all, I've grown distant and clear. I'm alien to me, alien to them, A stranger to us, to humanity's hem. [Bridge] Echoes of sorrow, in the silence they sing, A lament for the lost, a dirge for the king. In the depths of my heart, where the darkness does cling, I find solace in solitude, a quiet, serene ring. [Chorus] I've bled for the beliefs that they'd hold dear, A stranger to all, I've grown distant and clear. I'm alien to me, alien to them, A stranger to us, to humanity's hem. [Outro] As the sun sets on a life that's been bled, A final embrace, the world's last, silent deed. A life of regrets, now softly decreed, I rest in the peace that my heart has achieved. [End]
