[Verse 1] I bleed so others don’t Ink drip Skin split Wit slick Bones joke Hold hope in my throat Choke on the smoke Ghost in a coat Still cracking these codes I take in all the trauma Drama in my aura Armor made of scars Sutured karma in the borders Harbor every horror Heart harder than the corners Of the closet where you’re storing all your borrowed personas You talk tough just to tuck into trends Blend in Bend spine till it snaps at the end You defend every lie that you send to your friends But your tongue got a landlord And your rent’s in their hands I’m the pain sink Drain drink Brain brink Thin wire You the same script Name-switched Bland choir I’m the live wire Hitting tripwires in my ribcage You a clip-play Lip-sync in a kid’s play [Chorus] I’ll bleed so others don’t have to I’ll take the weight till my veins bruise If one soul out there gets through Then that’s enough That’s enough (yeah) In this fucked-up world that we’re trapped in So much hate like a habit they’re trapped in I’ll go insane if I have to Long as one heart out there stays intact too [Verse 2] So much hate in this place I refuse that script I don’t cue that twitch I don’t choose that glitch I ain’t chewing that bit I won’t fuse that switch I’m not you I’m the proof that a bruise fights back when it hits I’m actually somebody Not a stand-in soul Not a man-shaped hole in a brand’s bankroll I’m my own damn role I expand Explode You just scroll Steal slang Then you hand it as gold Talk shit just to fit in Fit in till you vanish Mimic every mannerism Panic when you’re famished Parrot every slogan till your atoms speaking Spanish Then wonder why your mirror keeps muttering “you’re average” That makes you less than the dirt you kick You’d burn your own worth just to surf their script Be your own person Let the hurt invert Have your own thoughts Let the nerve emerge Quit being a bot Stop biting their code (hey!) They’re delighting in control while you tighten their ropes You’re reciting what you’re told like a frightened echo Break the cycle Write your life in your own typeface Go [Chorus] I’ll bleed so others don’t have to I’ll take the weight till my veins bruise If one soul out there gets through Then that’s enough That’s enough (yeah) In this fucked-up world that we’re trapped in So much hate like a habit they’re trapped in I’ll go insane if I have to Long as one heart out there stays intact too [Bridge] Let me be the lightning You just keep the light I’ll be losing sleep You just dream tonight If I crack If I break If I fade from sight But you wake up unchained Then I lived it right (lived it right)[Verse 1] Fuck my self-worth Fuck my pain Fuck my whole verse They judge the dirt on my name But never dug through the hole first Tried to explain who I am through the track list They skimmed it like captions Scroll past the blood in my ad-libs Cool Guess compassion’s old-fashioned Let the dark thoughts go through the booth They loop it Laugh at the truth Take the bruise that I wrap in a tune Turn it back on me Ask for the proof Look down on me Clown on me Sound off in the crowd on me Type loud on a cracked screen proudly But if they lived this script they’d tap out loudly (yeah) [Chorus] All this lovely trash They bag my past Tie it tight in plastic Then laugh at the tag I poured my hurt in a verse for my deqd brother They called it trash Tell me what kind of person Takes an artist’s scars and dances on the ash They see a track Not the night that I wrote it The fight that I fought just to focus The knife that I dropped when I chose this Mic over coffin Hope over hopeless What kind of person takes grief And treats it like meme fuel Leaves teeth marks on my eulogy Then tweets “keep it real dude” You don’t want real You want reels Clipped pain Quick thrills Cheap feels I bleed syllables You read syllables And still miss how deep heals
