lyrics

Bedside manner
That’s what’s keeping me
Bedside manner
While I’m slowly bleeding
See, you don’t speak to the sick that way
You take the lesser sickness and push it away
My illness never looks severe
It knows to hide but is always near
It hides inside my tightened chest
Or in the swelling throat that holds down the sick
It comes up in the lines I write
Or in the ways I wish I could fight
Oh, how I wish I could find them
Manifest this man-to-man
So all this pain can feel directed
So everything can feel corrected
Bedside manner
That’s what keeps me
Bedside manner
Hold you close while we bleed
I figured you were lovelorn
Clinging to your phone like a blanket
When you thought I wasn’t looking
And all the time I thought, “who was it?”
But it was time that got away
And all those pills you did not take
They laughed along the calendar days
Dancing on your body like a grave
Oh, how I wish I could have known
Or had the nerve to ask, “what’s going on?”
An enemy clear in my sight
Would tell me how, just how to fight
Bedside manner
Is all that kept me
Bedside manner
And all the time I’m bleeding
There’s so much more I need to say
About the restless march of calendar days
But my timing never seems to win
And my tired eyes can sense them coming
See, I’m still working through this mess
And those swords I pulled out of my chest
And though I’m trying to be my best
The wounds still smite and all the rest
But I think you still deserve to know
The harm done to my body
And the fear that rises in my throat
Every time you reach for your planner
Bedside manner
Is all that kept me
Bedside manner
And all the time I’m bleeding
