Bleed Out

I didn’t lose the fire, I lost the ground

Too much weight just settling down

Some doors closed, I kept my flame

Kept showing up, the score still changed

Predators roam along the lanes

Night hums low where danger meets

I’m still standing, nothing owed

Just fewer places left to go

Let me bleed, let it run

Light or deep, it’s all undone

No gauze to seal it, no line to save

I walk these scars

I face the grave

Cold eyes track the steps I take

Every turn another stake

Walls close in, the alleys bite

Still I move through endless night

Every scar a quiet proof

No mercy comes, no sacred roof

I brave the night, I will endure

No chains can bind, no wound obscure

Let me bleed, let it run

Light or deep, it’s all undone

No gauze to seal it, no line to save

I walk these scars

I face the grave

Whispers snap like broken chains

Cold breath crawling through my veins

Paths alive with watching eyes

Every shadow waits and tries

No surrender, no retreat

Heartbeats drum a darker beat

I move alone, yet I remain

Through the hunger, through the pain

No hand will catch me now

No walls, no light, no vow

I’ve walked the edge and stayed

The night itself obeys

Let me bleed, let it run

Light or deep, it’s all undone

No gauze to seal it, no line to save

I walk these scars

I face the grave

Let it tear, let it claim

Every wound whispers my name

No gauze, no mercy, no reprieve

I walk these scars

I face the grave

And maybe this time, it stays
