It’s been some time
Since I grabbed my guitar and played
Not long ago
I didn’t know if I’d be here today
The blood in my veins
Is like a curse, yet it blesses me
I put up a fight
But now I’ve learned just to let it be
I learned that day
That I will never be the same
It’s like they say
That there’s no gain without some pain
There’s no cure
There’s no chance for a better way
And now I know
I’ve got to bleed just to live today
Push the needle in
Get your insulin
A cushion for the pen
Fallen to your knees
Begging pretty please
Fuck this damn disease
It just goes to show
That pain is what you know
Cause sugar is your foe
If you want to live
Your freedom’s what you give
You’ve got to bleed to live
Not long ago
I didn’t know if I’d be here to say
That now I know
I’ve got to bleed just to live today
