Bleed

The sweat crawls down my face in beads I take a sip from my canteen Hear the rustling of the leaves I jump to look over my tree Gun in my face, you scream at me Just a boy Just a boy, just like me I bleed I bleed for all you And I bleed And I bleed (Lay me down boys Lay me down boys Lay me down boys Lay me down) I said "Boy, please put that thing down" But you couldn't understand my sounds So I pulled the trigger and I cried and I cried and I cried You bleed You bleed to save me But I still bleed But I still bleed, 'cause now you're me I'm coming home, I'm still alive But war don't always end inside Inside The Mind I saw your gun pointed at me I wasted you so I'd still be But you still But you still ain't set me free And when I saw you lying dead Who knew you'd still aim for my head? I fired a shot that set me free But before too long, you captured me Won't you please Won't you please just let me be?
