Bleeding White - The Avett Brothers

I’m bleeding white through my clothes

But I’m lying in the snow

So nobody knows I’m dying

If I stand on my feet, will the plan be complete?

Or is the plan me not trying?

I left you behind

But you can find me if I don’t wander too far away

Perhaps in another life I would be more like you

Or you more like me, let’s just disagree

Don’t say you know my type, I’m one of a kind

Let’s thank God for merciful variety

I left you behind

But you can find me if I don’t wander too far away

It’s too far along to feign ignorance

Too far along to play it down

And you’re far too smart to fall for

The part that I’ve been playing

I’m bleeding gold in the streets

But there’s no one to see

Because the kingdom is empty

They all left in the night, spirits broken in spite

Of all the promise of morning

Ya’ll left me behind

But I can find you

If you don’t wander too far away

Yeah, you don’t wander too far away

Yeah, you don’t wander too far away

Yeah, you don’t wander too far away

Yeah, you don’t wander too far away
