Benjamin III - Bleed for Your Attention Lyrics
Official




It's been a long long time
I've been waiting awhile
Where have you been
I pray you listen
Every time I mention Christ
You cringe inside
I don't know why you resent Him so much
What has He done to you
Oh man
Oh woman
You desire Life
In all its spheres
And yet, He's beating in your heart
He gives you breath
Why can't you see
Our blinded greed
Hypocrisy
Both you and me
This fantasy
That we live in
Is deadly
We are dormant seeds
Inexorably
Prematurely
Set to die in need
When the One we need
Bleeds
For your attention
Bleeds
For your attention
Bleeds
For your attention
Bleeds
For your attention
Bleeds
For my attention
Bleeds
For my attention
Bleeds
For my attention
Bleeds
For my attention
Bleeds
I've been bleeding too
(Bleeding)
I've been bleeding too
(Bleeding)
Tell your Jesus to
(Tell Him)
Listen to my view
(Tell)
How many bodies bleeding from the lies they're feeding
Governmental operations stop my healing
Feeling feelings of relieving life's dissolving meaning
Picking up a scent of blood in His redeeming
Pain and pride is putting doubt in my believing
Saw a shooting star that crashed into my ceiling
Realized that that was me, symbolic meaning
Could be Lucifer, I'm dreaming
Momma had me drinking pain all night
Trauma tapping at my brain on sight
Every breath is shallow
Every plate is hollow
Desperado on the way
(Tonight)
My poverty was birthed by honesty
This evil world would rather choose to fondle me
With deadly strokes and then a chokehold
Three nails and honor me
Like Christ with mockery
They call it subtle mopery
Dishonesty
A five year old witnessing a robbery
Of his childhood ruled by drunk father
Punched me in the gut
Threw me in the gutter
With my sick mother
Who could not utter
A single sentence or a word but she muttered
Believe
Look, I'm sorry 'bout these awful happenings
I need to listen 'fore I jump to questioning
Your life and faith, your sacrifice and offering
You've lost a lot of blood witnessing martyring
I have my questions and their truly boggling
I'm seeing all the pain in people bothering
My spirit, mind and body, sorry
Pardon me
I've seen a lot of roses, my apologies
You asked a question
Where to from here
Where do we go
What of this fear
Who we should hear
Who'll wipe these tears
Mend sight to clear
Point to the mirror
Man...
There's one man
One man
He's here
Tell Me the truth
