When Gods Learn to Bleed

SONG: “WHEN GODS LEARN TO BLEED” [Intro] [Verse 1 – Clean ] I carved my future into forward motion Every strike a refusal to kneel If something stands above consequence Then it’s begging to be made real I don’t pray I don’t wait I don’t ask what I’m allowed If gods exist, they’re just walls And walls exist to come down [Verse 1 – Harsh] I don’t chase purpose I end it Certainty wrapped in sand You move toward me You disappear That’s the rule you never understand I don’t hate you I don’t feel you I don’t need to try The desert answers for me Before you decide to die [Pre-Chorus] Clean: I move until something breaks Harsh: Nothing breaks that isn’t beneath [Chorus ] One of us believes in will One of us believes in fate Both of us were taught to fight Never taught what power takes Two truths rising at the same time Only one can stay complete One feels victory taking shape One feels the fear of being weak [Verse 2] I hit you once You didn’t fall I hit you harder I didn’t care Not for glory Not for rules Just to prove the world is fair Something slipped Something burned The sand didn’t move in time I looked down Saw red on my skin And the silence lost its spine You flinched I saw it Pain remembers Now so do I [Pre-Chorus 2] I thought this meant I was winning I thought this meant I could die [Chorus] One of us touched omnipresence Just to watch it crack apart One of us kept striking heaven Thinking effort breaks a god Blood doesn’t crown a victor It just names the cost One gained mortality One learned how little was lost [Verse 3] You didn’t defeat me You woke me up From a lie that kept me whole I was certainty Now I am hunger With a heartbeat and a soul I didn’t end you I didn’t change this I just learned how far it goes You can wound what towers over you And never touch the throne [Bridge] We fought like it mattered Like the rules could bend But the house stays standing No matter how it ends [Final Chorus] Both walked away altered Both convinced they’d seen the truth But the system kept its balance By deciding both would lose One left knowing gods can bleed One left knowing blood’s not enough The table never cracked Because the house never bluffs [Outro] I can bleed And it didn’t change a thing
