[Verse 1] He woke up pale From a hard-ass night Palm on his gut Like he knew the bite Dark on the shirt By the kitchen sink He said, "I feel off" Then he couldn’t think [Verse 2] The floorboards creaked When he bent in half Mouth full of iron And a crooked laugh No one could read What was ripping him down He kept on standing Just to stay around [Pre-Chorus] Don’t call it stress Don’t call it fear That red inside Keeps getting near His eyes went wide At the wrong-time sound Something is wrong But it won’t come out [Chorus] Bleeding stomach He don’t feel good Bleeding stomach Nobody understood Hold on, hold on The hurt runs deep Bleeding stomach And he can’t sleep [Verse 3] He hid the stain With a folded sleeve Tried to act hard Tried to just leave Friends said, "What’s wrong?" He said, "I’m fine" But every step Made him shake inside [Pre-Chorus] Don’t call it stress Don’t call it fear That red inside Keeps getting near His teeth clenched tight At the wrong-time sound Something is wrong But it won’t come out [Chorus] Bleeding stomach He don’t feel good Bleeding stomach Nobody understood Hold on, hold on The hurt runs deep Bleeding stomach And he can’t sleep [Bridge] He hit the sink With a trembling hand Saw his whole world Slip through the sand No clean excuse No simple prayer Just a blackened ache In the dead-end air [Breakdown] Say it now Say it plain Something is tearing Through his frame No one knew No one guessed Till the blood turned slow And the panic spread [Final Chorus] Bleeding stomach He don’t feel good Bleeding stomach Nobody understood Hold on, hold on The hurt runs deep Bleeding stomach And he can’t sleep
