Sweating Blood Songtext
von Endless Forms

I wasn′t trying to be difficult
When I collapsed on the floor and couldn't get up
I don′t know if I can bear this cup
I don't know how long I can keep sweating blood
I'm getting tired
Of being old for my age
The light burns like a fire
When I′m up on this stage

Why do so many girls seem to asking
If I′m willing to commit suicide for my family?
As if it's not love if I can′t pay the price
As if I'm not like Christ if I don′t hate my life
What if I'm real?
What if it′s not a pull?
What if I'm not a steal?
What if I'm hatable?


How could I dare to write a poem
If I can′t pay the mortgage on my home?
How could I care about my soul
If I′m not filling the masculine role?
Honey, making art?
Honey, how could you sleep?
You're behaving like a child
With children to feed

Why is no one impressed
Until I turn around with my paycheck?
Until I pay my bills and can afford
To not need anyone else anymore
Do you even care
If I die inside
Or do you just want
A responsible family man′s respectable life?

I always wanted to be like Christ
But I can't live my life on the firing line

I always wanted a family to feed
But I′m not gonna burn my poetry

I always wanted a wife to adore
But I won't die up on this white horse

I won′t give up the ghost
I won't abort my unborn soul

I won't give up the ghost
I won′t abort my unborn soul


I won′t give up the ghost
I won't abort my unborn soul

I won′t give up the ghost
I won't abort my unborn soul
