"They All Bleed"

Intro – machine hum + distant breathing] (low mechanical rhythm… like something turning on) No names. No faces. Just… movement. [Verse 1 – cold, observational] I watched you run — same pattern, same line Left foot dragging just behind time You think it matters where you go It doesn’t Every door you try to close Every step you think you chose I’ve seen it all before You’re not different [Pre-Chorus – rising tension, layered whispers] You feel it now That pressure shift That quiet drop inside your chest (whisper layer) don’t stop… don’t stop… [Chorus – heavy, chant-driven] THEY ALL BLEED THEY ALL BLEED DIFFERENT VOICES — SAME NEED THEY ALL BLEED THEY ALL BLEED NO ONE DIES THE WAY THEY THINK THEY ALL RUN THEY ALL FALL EVERY LAST ONE HITS THE FLOOR THEY ALL BLEED THEY ALL BLEED JUST LIKE YOU’RE ABOUT TO [Verse 2 – more detached, more disturbing] You called for help — I heard it crack That breaking sound you can’t take back Your voice don’t carry far enough It never does Your hands keep slipping when you try You don’t know where to put your eyes You’re looking everywhere but me That’s the problem [Pre-Chorus – tighter, more aggressive] Your breath is wrong Your timing’s off Your body’s giving everything up (whisper layer) too slow… too slow… [Chorus – heavier, more chaotic] THEY ALL BLEED THEY ALL BLEED YOU’RE NOT SPECIAL — YOU’RE NOT FREE THEY ALL BLEED THEY ALL BLEED JUST ANOTHER MEMORY THEY ALL RUN THEY ALL BREAK EVERY SINGLE CHOICE YOU MAKE THEY ALL BLEED THEY ALL BLEED AND YOU’RE NEXT IN LINE [Bridge – stripped, almost calm, terrifying] (low, close… no music) You wanna know what’s different about you? … Nothing. [BREAKDOWN – industrial, crushing, rhythmic] (METAL HITS + MACHINE PULSE) STEP — SLIP BREATH — CUT HAND — MISS TIME — UP MOVE — WRONG DROP — FAST YOU — LAST [FINAL CHORUS – full force, layered voices] THEY ALL BLEED THEY ALL BLEED NO ESCAPE IN WHAT I SEE THEY ALL BLEED THEY ALL BLEED YOU WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO BE THEY ALL RUN THEY ALL END EVERY STORY BREAKS THE SAME THEY ALL BLEED THEY ALL BLEED AND YOU’RE JUST LIKE THEM [Outro – fading machine + whisper behind ear] (quiet… breath close) …you already are.
