Love-Lies-Bleed-ing in the garden of Dreams

[Intro: Cold, Spoken-style over a steady, driving bassline] This is my anti love song I thought you were my music Turned out I was wrong [Verse 1: Fast, anxious, "ticking" drums] Every "Coun-ter-fit" bill was an I love you I thought I could paint a picture of what could be Turns out I was just your missed sto-ry Truth be told there is not a lot of grief I'm finally turned the page and I'm finally free You were only "deep" when there was an au-di-ence to see You were just a pud-dle now you mean nothing to me You came in with that sick-ly green glow Truth is your true colors started to show Gas-light-ing and the "thee-a-ter" of what you told me Has changed my per-cep-tion, altered my reality [Pre-Chorus: Total Silence] (Stop) [Chorus 1: Massive explosion, Choir backing, Wide Stereo Harmonies] Yeah, Love-Lies-Bleed-ing (Bleeding!) and I’m finally awake Realizing(Realizing!) you were my biggest mistake Yeah, Love-Lies-Bleed-ing (Bleeding!) but I’ve found my release Trading your "drama" for a little bit of peace [Verse 2: Return to driving, anxious post-punk beat] Every I love you turns out was a bit-ter-sweet pill I thought I was living in the garden of dreams Sometimes the illusion is not what it seems Nothing is ever as soft as it seems Sometimes love is the wrong kind of dream There’s no "tragic end" or "star-crossed fate" You're just a Realization that came too late I saw the fire but I only breathed the smoke There was so much de-cep-tion in the words you spoke I fought your battles, I carried your weight When the whole time I was wrong, found out too late [Chorus 2: Explosive, Soulful, Massive Sound] Yeah, Love-Lies-Bleed-ing (Bleeding!) and I’m finally awake Realizing(Realizing!) you were my biggest mistake Yeah, Love-Lies-Bleed-ing (Bleeding!) but I’ve found my release Trading your "drama" for a little bit of peace [Bridge: Tense, Minimalist bass, building to a shout] So go find a mirror that likes you better And I don’t care if you keep that sweater I’m done with the skript, I’m done with the play No more to-mor-rows, I put you away Turns out you weren't the "One" I was destined to find You were the les-son and I’ve left that behind [Chorus 3: Grand Finale, Maximum Intensity] Yeah, Love-Lies-Bleed-ing (Bleeding out!) and I’m finally awake Realizing(Realizing!) you were my biggest mistake Yeah, Love-Lies-Bleed-ing (Bleeding!) but I’ve found my release Trading your "drama" for a little bit of peace [Chorus 4: High Energy Outro, Layered Shouts, Ad-libs] Yeah, Love-Lies-Bleed-ing (Bleeding!) and I’m finally awake Realizing(Realizing!) you were my biggest mistake Yeah, Love-Lies-Bleed-ing (Bleeding!) but I’ve found my release Trading your "drama" for a little bit of peace [Outro: Music fades to a single wide-stereo foot stomp] You left me with nothing? Well, nothing is a start. So I will carry on... With a wiser heart. ✢ ORRINO © 2026 ✢ ✢ Lyrics by OrrinO ✢
