MAKING MEANING: THE SONG
Listen to the song “Things that Make us Bleed” from Frayle’s album The White Witch and learn what meaning Gwyn, Sean, Elliot, Pat, and Eric make:
“Things that Make us Bleed” was written and recorded by Gwyn Strang & Sean Bilovecky in the Doom Tower. Self-produced on The White Witch EP.
Lyrics to “Things that Make us Bleed”
The tear drops swell up in your eyes / Not knowing when to fall. / Can you see me clearly now / Or even at all?
How the mighty have fallen / And the weak rise above. / You’re still the only one that made me feel / The closest thing to love.
I tried / I tried to save you / You lied / When you betrayed me / I tried / I tried to save you. / You lied / When you betrayed me.
My heart, it bleeds the blood of the broken / What more must I do? / My mind, it hears the words unspoken. / Should I bleed more for you?
You can be the beautiful one. / But only time will tell. / You can be the beautiful one. / If another heart is felled.
I tried / I tried to save you. / You lied when you betrayed me.
I tried / I tried to save you. / You lied when you betrayed me.
We all have things that make us bleed. / You can be mine. / You can be mine.
We all have things that make us bleed. / You can be mine. / You can be mine.
Frayle Speaks
We all have things that make us bleed.
