Bleed is how anxiety and trauma can make us hard on ourselves and our loved ones. A prayer to the Forces of Nature and the Ancient Greek Goddess Hecate screams for deliverance. A reference to Alice Cooper features the chorus.
lyrics
Hail hail the failure queen
Refuse to see my majesty
I know I'm adored
Why must I declare this war?
Demons and mortals
Play an evil game
I'm screaming out to Hekate
Once more behind the door
Feel the scratch of the dragon's claw.
Rip into my psychic flesh
I'm bleeding and a total mess.
Demons and mortals
Play an evil game
I'm screaming out to Hekate
Screaming out to Hekate
Fire and Air please set me free
Take away my agony
Water and Earth come rebuild me
I'm in Alice's nightmare
Come watch me bleed.
Lies lies feels so real
Viper fangs made of steel
Venom burn my tired veins
My inner light begins to wane
Demons and mortals
Play an evil game
I'm screaming out to Hekate
No more I implore
Break and leave my prison walls
Soul and Spirit set me free
Time to feel the love in me
Demons and mortals
Play an evil game
I'm screaming out to Hekate
Screaming out to Hekate
Fire and Air please set me free
Take away my agony
Water and earth come rebuild me
I'm in Alice's nightmare
Come watch me bleed.

Play an evil game
I'm screaming out to Hekate
Screaming out to Hekate
Fire and Air please set me free
Take away my agony
Water and earth come rebuild me
I'm in Alice's nightmare
Come watch me bleed.
Fire and Air please set me free
Take away my agony
Water and earth come rebuild me
I'm in Alice's nightmare
Come watch me bleed.
I'm in Alice's nightmare
Come watch me bleed.
I'm in Alice's nightmare
Come watch me bleed.
I'm in Alice's nightmare
Come watch me bleed.
