Bleed Out

[Verse 1]
Defeated by the voices in my head
Telling me I’m not good enough
Chasing pain, trying to be good at love
I search for your page, but it’s hidden
A light once there, now I see it only when I close my eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m a self-fulfilling prophecy
Running from the boogeyman
Grasping for the end of your line
Trying to feel worthy, hands tied

[Chorus]
Went to cut myself loose, dropped the knife
Tried to swim too deep
I try to speak, it comes out as a scream
Out of my mind, but I think you like it
Out of your mind, and I think I like it
Twist the knife, watch me bleed

[Bridge]
Every step stumbles, every thought crumbles
Fearing, wanting, running away
Who could love me this way?

[Final Chorus / Outro]
Cut myself loose, dropped the knife
Tried to swim too deep
Speak turns to scream
Out of my mind, think you like it
Out of your mind, think I like it
Twist the knife, watch me bleed
