I’m Bleeding - 1989 - The Gone Kids

[verse] I wake up with shattered glass in my lungs, streets explode with a stranger’s tongue. I’m stitched together with lies and thread, every night I rehearse the dead. [pre-chorus – rising tension] Blood on the pavement, it’s never mine alone. Blood on the pavement, this city cuts to the bone. [chorus – shouted in bursts] I’m bleeding, but no one sees the flood. I’m bleeding, this silence tastes like blood. [verse – shorter lines, faster delivery] Sirens howl like broken choirs, walls collapse with hidden fires. No shield, no skin, no prayer, just a body dissolving in the air. [chorus – repeat with doubled vocals] I’m bleeding, under every neon light. I’m bleeding, but I still fight. [bridge – whispered, then screamed with full band crash] Every war is personal, every wound is sold. Every war is personal, but the story’s never told. [instrumental break – chaotic guitars, noise, feedback loop] [chorus – extended, screamed till voice cracks] I’m bleeding, can you hear me now? I’m bleeding, but I won’t bow. [outro – distorted guitar fading, whispered phrase] I’m bleeding… still breathing.
