[Verse 1]
Every time they knock me down
I rise to my feet
Every time I take a bullet
They find a medic to patch me up real neat
You only have to run the numbers to know
Sooner or later everybody's gotta go
Bleed out, I'm gonna bleed out

[Chorus 1]
I'm gonna bleed out, I'm gonna bleed out
There won't be anybody waiting to rush me to safety
I'm gonna let the long night take me
Bleed out, I'm gonna bleed out

[Verse 2]
Every bender needs a blackout
Every gauge deserves a top line
Every story needs a child
Who believes the brave hero's gonna be just fine
You only have to check the papers to see
Some of these children end up just like me
Bleed out, I'm gonna bleed out

[Chorus 2]
I'm gonna bleed out, I'm gonna bleed out
I'm gonna make a gigantic mess
But it meant something important I guess
Bleed out, I'm gonna bleed out
[Verse 3]
Somewhere beyond imagination
Somewhere beneath the final delta
Washed up on the banks of a river at the height of the storm
Everybody's seeking shelter
I'm gonna dive right in
I can't swim
Bleed out, I'm gonna bleed out

[Chorus 3]
I'm gonna bleed out, I'm gonna bleed out
There's gonna be a big spot where I once lay
And there won't even be a spot one day
Bleed out, I'm gonna bleed out

[Verse 4]
There was a chance we'd make it through this
It's safe to say now that we've missed it
And I won't ever lose hope and I haven't lost hope
I'm just realistic
I will go down punching, but I will go down
And my corner men won't bring me back around
Bleed out, I'm gonna bleed out

[Verse 5]
The blood is pooling underneath me
Flowing freely from my mouth
You wanna call a med evac now
Knock yourself out
You can tell 'em when they get here you tried
But the smallest hole was several inches wide
Bleed out, I'm gonna bleed out
[Verse 6]
I'm gonna head into the darkness
I'm gonna head into the light
I will surrender to the slow lurching tide
Drift off into the night
There won't be any words of wisdom from me
Just a lake of blood for all the world to see
Bleed out, I'm gonna bleed out

[Chorus 6]
I'm gonna bleed out, I'm gonna bleed out
I'm gonna tell my friends to all go to hell
And wish my enemies well
Bleed out, I'm gonna bleed out

[Chorus 7]
I'm gonna bleed out, I'm gonna bleed out
If it's blood you want, I've got plenty of it
You're gonna love it
Bleed out, I'm gonna bleed out
