[Intro — Grinding Groove]
Yeah, I’ve been cut by love and grace,
Buried my guilt in a holy place.
But the saints all stare while the sinners feed,
And I learned quick—saints don’t bleed.
⸻
[Verse 1 — The Rebellion Begins]
She had a cross on her chain, venom in her kiss,
Said, “Boy, redemption don’t taste like this.”
I tried to pray, but the words turned black,
Now I’m preaching from the bottle with no turning back.
⸻
[Chorus — The Declaration]
I ain’t begging for forgiveness,
I don’t need no crown.
I’m the voice in the thunder when the heavens drown.
You can call it sin, I call it creed—
I live loud ‘cause saints don’t bleed.
⸻
[Verse 2 — The Scars Show]
I wore my pain like Sunday clothes,
Looked too clean for the dirt I know.
She tore my soul, I took the lead,
Now my faith runs red ‘cause saints don’t bleed.
⸻
[Bridge — The Sermon Turns Dark]
Every sin’s a story, every scar’s a psalm,
I found my peace in a lover’s calm.
You want holy? You better believe,
The devil’s got truth that the saints won’t see.
⸻
[Final Chorus — The Crown of Rust]
I ain’t begging for forgiveness,
I don’t bow to need.
I’m the hymn in the fire, not the prayer that pleads.
You can preach salvation, I’ll take speed—
‘Cause I live loud, and saints don’t bleed.
⸻
[Outro — Spoken Like a Confession]
So pour that grace in a dirty glass,
Here’s to the sinners that never ask.
Love me wrong, I’ll still succeed—
Crawlback’s gospel: saints don’t bleed.
