Bleeding Ink

Bleeding Ink by Sabrina Thorne [Verse 1] I wrote the truth in trembling lines A soul unstitched by borrowed time Each word a wound I tried to hide Each verse a place I didn’t die [Pre-Chorus] They say the path is paved in light But I walked through the blackest night [Chorus] And I bleed ink, I bleed real Every lyric just a way to heal Not for glory, not for fame Just to know you feel the same I bleed ink on every page Screaming quiet through the cage This is how I stayed alive Bleeding just to feel the fire [Verse 2] I never asked the world to stay But I carved my voice into the gray And if these songs are all I leave Let them echo when you grieve [Pre-Chorus] I sang in silence just to cope Each chorus stitched with thread of hope [Chorus] And I bleed ink, I bleed truth Every verse remembers youth Not for pity, not for praise Just so someone else could blaze I bleed ink through storm and smoke These are not just words I wrote They're the pieces that I kept When the rest of me had wept [Bridge] So if you find me in the flame Know I bled to leave a name A map for those who lose their way Lit by all I couldn’t say [Final Chorus] And I bleed ink, I bleed soul Every line a piece of whole Not for answers, not for peace But to make the hurting cease I bleed ink, now let it burn Every note a soul’s return And if you feel it in your chest— You’ve found me in the ink I left
