Iron chains rub my skin raw, Keeping me safe. *From what? Help; Pulling me down, Keeping me down.* Teach me to bleed, Rich, thick, red. Scarlet for lust, Scarlet for love. *Scarlet for the pain, For the burns left by your fingers, So indirectly, free from blame.* I can be better, I can bleed better. Open me, Enter me. I can bleed better. Push me down, Gag me. I can bleed better. Hurt me, I am begging - help, wait; Give me more, Give me everything. Teach me to bleed for you. *Wait, stop; No more.* Force me down, Smother me.   Please, Teach me to bleed for you. No more.

Teach Me to Bleed
Iron chains rub my skin raw, Keeping me safe. *From what? Help; Pulling me down, Keeping me down.* Teach me to bleed, Rich, thick, red. Scarlet for lust, Scarlet for love. *Scarlet for the pain, For the burns left by your fingers, So indirectly, free from blame.* I can be better, I can bleed better. Open me, Enter me. I can bleed better. Push me down, Gag me. I can bleed better. Hurt me, I am begging - help, wait; Give me more, Give me everything. Teach me to bleed for you. *Wait, stop; No more.* Force me down, Smother me.   Please, Teach me to bleed for you. No more.
