[Verse 1]
Black
Brown
Ghost-pale hands
All reach
For the same small chance
Same rush
When the thunder hits
Same hush
When the heartbreak sticks
[Pre-Chorus]
You look at me
What do you weigh?
My body
My shade
Or what I say?
You miss the tremor in my chest
The way it stutters
Just like the rest
[Chorus]
We all bleed the same
We all break the same
Every tear that falls
Knows nobody’s name
You keep drawing lines
On another face
Fools see a wall
I see a heart in the same dark place
Yeah
We all bleed the same
We all beat the same
[Verse 2]
Short hair
Long skirt
Chipped paint
You flinch
Like my truth’s a stain
You count
Every label first
Blind to
Who is aching worse
[Pre-Chorus]
You point your finger like a flame
Forget your pulse is wired the same
You miss the shiver when I speak
You don’t see me
You don’t see me
[Chorus]
We all bleed the same
We all break the same
Every tear that falls
Knows nobody’s name
You keep drawing lines
On another face
Fools see a wall
I see a heart in the same dark place
Yeah
We all bleed the same
We all beat the same
[Bridge]
Tell me why my skin’s a verdict
Why my love’s a loaded word
Why my pronoun makes you nervous
When my hurt sounds just like yours
Strip it down
To flesh and fear (oh)
Close your eyes
We disappear
[Chorus]
We all bleed the same
We all break the same
Every tear that falls
Knows nobody’s name
You keep drawing lines
On another face
Fools see a wall
I see a heart in the same dark place
Yeah
We all bleed the same
We all beat the same
