Only When I Bleed 가사

I wasn't born into a throne I carved my name into bone No map, no crown, no master plan Just a blade and a beating hand They say there's peace beyond the shore I don't know what that word is for When silence comes, I feel it bite I only breathe when there's a fight I don't fear death, I fear the calm The days with nothing in my palms If I stop moving, I'm erased A ghost with no remaining face I only live when I bleed Only exist when I'm torn If there's no war inside my chest Then I was never born I don't need gold, I don't need fame Just something left to burn If peace is all you have to give Then watch me never learn They tell me legends get old Die warm, die safe, die controlled But safety feels like a slow decay A quieter, colder way My sons ask what I've become I say the storm before the calm But every time the fires end I don't know how to be a man They call me savage, call me wrong But still they sing my name in songs If this is all I'll ever be Then let the world remember me I only live when I bleed Only exist when I'm torn If there's no war inside my chest Then I was never born I don't need gold, I don't need fame Just something left to burn If peace is all you have to give Then watch me never learn What am I Without the fight? Who am I When it's quiet? If the gods want me to rest– They'll have to kill me first I only live when I bleed When every scar feels earned If I lay down my weapons now There's nothing left to learn I don't chase heaven, I don't pray I don't wait my turn If living means becoming still– Then let me crash and burn No war No name
