letra de beautiful bruise - the cardboard city

[verse 1]
every terrible day
every falsified night
every fruitless attempt
to get everything right

every moment of truth
every desolate sigh
every broken intent
every bloodshot eye

a fractured commitment
a red-hot lance
a bricked-up window
a chattering dance

he hammered it out
on the sh-ll of your brain
he imparted the rage
of a cast-out cain

this beautiful bruise
is fading away
it’s leaving me smooth
with nothing to say

this beautiful bruise
was given and gave
it exhumed a truth
from a spiritual grave

beautiful bruise
beautiful bruise

[verse 2]
all the dreams of revenge
all the grasping at fog
all the yearning and rage
of a miserable dog

all the fl!ckering moments
all the jagged -ssaults
all the crushing mistakes
all the crumbling faults

a grimace of fury
a ribbon of flesh
a molten contrition
a tangling mesh

children are beaten
by cowards and chumps
they’re taken to task
for not taking their lumps

this beautiful bruise
is bl–dy and new
it’s as old as my face
it’s a tribute to you

this beautiful bruise
is supple and raw
it lays down a story
it shatters the law

beautiful bruise
beautiful bruise

[verse 3]
each appreciable loss
each encrusted retreat
each and every lover
that you secretly meet

any song to the sky
any sigh in the cold
any hint of the freedom
that you traded for gold

a boat on the river
a shot at the moon
a ghost on the window
a pitiless tune

bones can be mended
hearts can be healed
thoughts can be stolen
when lips come unsealed

this beautiful bruise
goes through to the back
it traces the trail
of a thorough attack

this beautiful bruise
is a word made of meat
you’d better take me alive
if you still want to eat

beautiful bruise
beautiful bruise
beautiful bruise
beautiful bruise
