Bleeding Gold

I been bleedin’ gold, yeah, every scar turned to treasure,

But the pain get cold, and the nights last forever.

I been losin’ control, tryna hold it together—

But the demons in my soul write a whole different letter.

I been fightin’ with the tide, let it crash on my name,

Got a smile on my face but it’s masking the pain.

If I fall one time, I ain’t crashin’ the same—

I’ll rise from the fire like I’m gas in a flame.

I’m crackin’ at the surface, nerves twitchin’ on purpose,

Tryin’ to keep my cool but the world steady chirpin’.

Every damn doubt in my brain re-emergin’,

And I’m swervin’, lurkin’, burnin’ through burdens.

I’m a furnace—

turn hurt into nuclear verses,

been cursed since birth but I learned from the worst of it.

A war in my chest with a chorus of threats,

and the more that I’m stressed, man, the more I progress.

See, I don’t really sleep, I just bargain with death,

argue with shadows in the dark when my heart’s gettin’ pressed.

But I still swing first with the bars, I’m possessed—

every line like a spark that could scar through your vest.

I been bleedin’ gold, yeah, every scar turned to treasure,

But the pain get cold, and the nights last forever.

I been losin’ control, tryna hold it together—

But the demons in my soul write a whole different letter.

I been driftin’ through the pressure with a voice full of vengeance,

Tryna heal from the wreckage but my soul stay defenseless.

Got regrets in my veins, they be pumpin’ resentment—

But I rise through the pain like it’s part of the engine.

Melodies drown all the trauma I hide,

but the harmonies cut like a blade in my side.

Got a storm in my throat and it’s beggin’ to cry—

but I swallowed that thunder a thousand times.

And I’m tired, man—

tired of the doubt, tired of the fear,

tired of the voices that scream in my ear.

But I stand through the smoke even when it get clear,

’Cause I’m built from a battle they couldn’t engineer.

So if I fall tonight—

let the moon light the wreck.

I been runnin’ from my past

but it’s chasin’ my steps.

I’ve been holdin’ all this fire

in the cage of my chest…

But I swear one day

it’ll blaze through the rest.
