Bleed It Out

[Verse 1] I’m gonna stand my ground A thousand voices couldn’t drown me out They try to shut me down But I can hear ‘em whisperin' behind my back And I talk to myself each night just to feel in control Runnin' circles in my head, blowin' smoke through my soul [Pre-Chorus] And the fire burnin' in my eyes says: “Let it go...” [Instrumental Hook] [Distorted guitar riff, haunting ambient pads] [Verse 2] Don't need your stories told Every tongue’s got a tale to sell It spreads like ash and coal From the throne to the gates of hell If I see that lie return, I’ll bring it down on you I ain't the truth you wanna hear—but I’m the one that’s true [Pre-Chorus] And the thunder in my bones says: “Bring it home...” [Instrumental Hook] [Grimy, blues-infused breakdown—think Jack White meets Alice in Chains] [Guitar Solo] [Bleeding, fuzz-laden solo with bends and wails echoing despair] [Verse 3] I’m headin' far away Wichita’s a ghost behind my eyes I’ll work ‘til I decay And sweat my soul through blackened skies I’m bleedin’, yeah I’m bleedin’ as I’m standin’ at your door Let the silence bleed the words—ain’t gonna speak no more [Pre-Chorus] And the stains fallin' from my hands say: “Go back home...” [Final Chorus - Instrumental + Wordless Vocal Harmonies] [Layered guitars swell with reverb and feedback. Wordless moans echo like ghosts in the storm.]
