Blood isn’t Bulletproof

Verse 1 (Low, brooding riff)

I learned your face before I learned the lie

Same hands that held me taught me how to bleed

Sunday smiles, kitchen-table wars

You said “family,” I heard “don’t speak”

I carried your name like a loaded gun

Safety off, pointed at my chest

Every promise carved in bone

Every silence did the rest

Pre-Chorus (Rising tension)

You cut me deep and called it love

Left me drowning, said “be tough”

If this is blood, then tell me why

It feels like poison every time

Chorus (Explosive, full distortion)

YOU TURNED YOUR BACK WHEN I NEEDED A SHIELD

FAMILY FLESH BUT THE WOUNDS ARE REAL

I’M TRYING TO BREATHE THROUGH THE SMOKE YOU MADE

SURVIVING THE FIRE YOU WALKED AWAY

DON’T SAY MY NAME LIKE YOU OWN MY PAIN

BLOOD ISN’T LOYAL—IT JUST STAINS

Verse 2 (Fast, aggressive)

I bit my tongue till I tasted rust

Held the line while you built your throne

You fed on fear, you fed on trust

Then told me I was on my own

Every secret was currency

Every weakness a knife to trade

You called it “truth,” I call it war

I call it scars that never fade

Breakdown (Half-time, crushing)

Say it’s “just how family is”

Say “forgive,” say “let it go”

But you never carried this weight

You never felt this low

Low growl:

I’m still standing in the wreckage

You’re still asking why I’m cold

Chorus (Bigger, layered vocals)

YOU TURNED YOUR BACK WHEN I NEEDED A SHIELD

FAMILY FLESH BUT THE WOUNDS ARE REAL

I’M TRYING TO HEAL WITH SHAKING HANDS

LEARNING TO LIVE WHERE I STAND

DON’T PREACH TO ME ABOUT BLOOD AND GRACE

WHEN YOU LEFT ME HERE TO FACE IT

Bridge (Quiet → build, emotional)

Maybe I’ll never get the apology

Maybe closure’s just a word

But I won’t bleed out for your peace

I won’t choke on what you never heard

(Drums build, guitars swell)

Final Chorus (Anthem, defiant)

I’M BREAKING FREE FROM THE CHAINS YOU MADE

I’M NOT YOUR SIN, I’M NOT YOUR SHAME

I’LL CARRY THE PAIN BUT NOT YOUR NAME

I SURVIVED THE TRUTH YOU COULDN’T FACE

THIS IS ME COPING—SCREAMING ALIVE

I LOST MY FAMILY BUT I KEPT MY SPINE

Outro (Slow, heavy)

Blood isn’t bulletproof

But I am.
