Bleed Me Dry

[Verse 1 – low, tense]
You got your hands in my head again
Twisting the truth till it feels like sin
Every promise just a loaded gun
You pull the trigger, I come undone

I let you carve your name in my skin
Call it love but it’s discipline
Every scar is a memory
Of who the hell I used to be

[Pre-Chorus – building]
I keep digging graves I don’t belong in
Six feet down just to feel something

[Chorus – explosive]
I won’t let you bleed me dry anymore
Sick of crawling back just to hit your floor
You can take your knives out of my spine
I’m done being yours, I’m taking what’s mine

I’d rather choke on the truth than lie
You don’t get to watch me fucking die
Cut the chain, let the damage show
If I burn alive, I burn alone

[Verse 2 – heavier, faster]
Every word like a parasite
Feeding off me every night
You say love, but it feels like war
I’m just something you ignore

I was drowning just to keep you breathing
Now I’m done with the false believing
You don’t fix what you fucking break
You just take and take and take

[Pre-Chorus – strained]
I kept your demons under my skin
Now I’m ripping them out again

[Chorus – bigger, raw]
I won’t let you bleed me dry anymore
Sick of crawling back just to hit your floor
You can take your knives out of my spine
I’m done being yours, I’m taking what’s mine

I’d rather choke on the truth than lie
You don’t get to watch me fucking die
Cut the chain, let the damage show
If I burn alive, I burn alone

[Bridge – breakdown / scream]
(SCREAM)
You don’t own me!
You don’t know me!
Every scar you left—yeah, you fucking owe me!

(SCREAM)
I’m not your savior, not your fix
I’m done drowning in your shit!

[Breakdown – slow, crushing]
I tear it out—every piece you took
Rewrite the ending you overwrote
No more silence, no more disguise
I see the devil behind your eyes

[Final Chorus – anthemic]
I won’t let you bleed me dry anymore
Kick me down, I’m still wanting more
Not your victim, not your cure
I’m the wound that won’t stay yours

I’d rather break than live your lie
You don’t get to watch me fucking die
Set it off, let the whole world know
I found my life in letting go

[Outro – fading, bitter calm]
Yeah…
You almost had me buried alive…
But I dug my way out this time.
