[Intro – whispered, distant, layered]
(whisper L/R)
Take… take… take…
Never give… never give…
(low growl rising)
I gave you everything…
⸻
[Verse 1 – restrained, building anger]
I was carved into a weapon before I learned to breathe
Back bent, hands out—feeding every need
Four walls closing, voices pulling at my skin
Every “just one more” is where the rot begins
Uniform stitched into bones that already cracked
Serving ghosts while the living stab my back
They run from the fire while I’m chained in the flame
Still I answer when they call my name
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – tension, layered clean + grit]
I don’t know how to say no
I don’t know how to let go
Every piece that I own…
Is already gone
⸻
[Chorus – explosive, full scream]
BLEED ME DRY — I’M STILL STANDING
RIP ME APART — DEMANDING, DEMANDING
HANDS IN MY CHEST — TAKE WHAT YOU NEED
I’M NOTHING LEFT — JUST WHAT YOU FEED
BLEED ME DRY — I WON’T BREAK YET
BUT I SWEAR TO GOD YOU’LL REGRET IT
ONE MORE PULL — ONE MORE LIE
WATCH ME SNAP — WATCH ME DIE
⸻
[Verse 2 – faster, more chaotic delivery]
Mother took pieces, said it made me a man
Brothers stayed silent while I took the stand
Neighbors, the leeches, smiling with teeth
Digging in deeper underneath
Even love turns into a loaded gun
She pulls the trigger when the days go numb
Then she comes back, says “we’ll be okay”
But the damage don’t fade—it just waits
Service carved scars they’ll never see
I stayed in the fight while they begged to be free
Now I’m breaking in places I can’t repair
Still they’re reaching—like I owe them air
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – strained, near breaking]
I don’t know how to say no
I don’t know how to let go
Every piece that I own…
Is already gone
⸻
[Chorus – bigger, gang vocals added]
BLEED ME DRY — I’M STILL STANDING
RIP ME APART — DEMANDING, DEMANDING
HANDS IN MY CHEST — TAKE WHAT YOU NEED
I’M NOTHING LEFT — JUST WHAT YOU FEED
⸻
[Breakdown – half-time, crushing, chant]
(chant – gang vocals)
TAKE! TAKE! TAKE!
IS THAT ALL YOU KNOW?!
TAKE! TAKE! TAKE!
WATCH ME OVERFLOW!
(solo scream)
I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING—
NOW THERE’S NOTHING LEFT TO STEAL!
⸻
[Bridge – eerie, quiet, emotional contrast]
(soft, almost spoken)
What happens when the well runs dry…
When the strong one finally dies inside…
(layered whisper)
Will you still reach…
When there’s nothing left?
⸻
[Final Chorus – ultimate explosion]
BLEED ME DRY — THIS IS THE ENDING
NO MORE FIXING — NO MORE BENDING
HANDS OFF ME — I’M TAKING BACK
EVERY PIECE YOU MADE ME LACK
BLEED ME DRY — NOW WATCH ME RISE
FROM THE ASHES OF YOUR LIES
YOU TOOK IT ALL — NOW HERE I STAND
EMPTY… BUT FINALLY OUT OF YOUR HANDS
⸻
[Outro – fading, haunting]
(whisper)
Take… take… take…
(pauses)
…no.
SilentPayload
