Maybe your mind will change,
or I'll watch you bleed

And maybe your eyes will sink,
Before you breathe,

Maybe your mind will fail,
before you care,

And maybe you're just hard to take...

I see seven lines.

Are "bleed" and "breath" supposed to rhyme? Because they don't.

All right. So what is "before you breath" supposed to mean?

Stephen 06-15-2016 02:50 PM

I assume it's "before you breathe".

Zhanteimi 06-15-2016 02:54 PM

He said "bleed" and "breath" were not supposed to rhyme, though.

WhyBanhammer 06-15-2016 04:40 PM

OK, so it's pretty messed up if you take it like it sounds...

The line is: "Maybe your eyes will sink, before you breathe"... Think about normal eye and mouth placement on the human face.
