Lyrics

[Intro — whispered, distorted] Yeah… You ever smile so long you forget it’s a mask? Heh… I’m done pretending.

[Verse 1 — rap, tense delivery] I got cracks in my armor, scars under my skin A war in my head that I’m trapped within Everybody wants the crown, nobody sees the cost Everybody counts the wins, nobody counts what’s lost

I’ve been running from shadows that know my name Trying to find myself in a world so fake They say “hold on,” like it’s easy to do When the mirror’s showing someone that you never knew

Voices getting louder, pressure getting heavy Heart’s still beating but my soul ain’t steady Built from the wreckage, born from the pain I learned how to dance in the middle of flames

[Pre-Chorus — melodic build] Every cut became a story Every fall became my ground You thought you’d finally destroy me… But I’m still here somehow

[Chorus — huge rock vocals] I’m bleeding out but I’m still breathing Broken down but I’m not defeated You can take my wings You can steal my crown But you’ll never keep me underground

I’m bleeding out but my heart’s still beating Lost my faith but I found my reason Every scar screams louder now I’m alive while I’m bleeding out

[Post-Chorus — chant] Bleeding out! (Bleeding out!) You won’t bury me now! Bleeding out! (Bleeding out!) I’ll survive somehow!

[Verse 2 — faster rap, aggressive] I was the kid they ignored in the back of the room Turned every “you can’t” into lighting the fuse Every doubt, every laugh, every knife in my spine Just became another reason I climb

I got monsters, yeah, I know them well Made a home inside my personal hell Had to lose everything just to finally see The only one who could save me was me

No more chains, no more running away No more letting yesterday write today You wanted the ending, I rewrote the scene Now I’m becoming who I’m meant to be

[Bridge — stripped piano then explosion] Maybe I’m damaged… Maybe I’m scarred… Maybe I carried this pain too far…

But diamonds are born from pressure and fire And broken souls can still rise higher

[Final Chorus — full band, screaming backing vocals] I’m bleeding out but I’m still breathing Broken down but I’m not defeated You can take my wings You can steal my crown But you’ll never keep me underground

I’m bleeding out but my heart’s still beating Lost my faith but I found my reason Every scar screams louder now… I’m alive while I’m bleeding out

[Outro — fading scream] Still breathing… Still fighting… Still here… Bleeding out…

Bleeding Out
