Bleed (Madness, 2022)


don't try to tell me what you think I should be

don't try to tell me what you think I should say

don't try to tell me where you think I should play

don't try to tell me who you think I should see

don't try to tell me how you think I should pray

don't try to tell me how you think I should deal

don't try to tell me how you think I should feel


i'm not going to relax (my heart bleeds for you, baby)

calm down, you betta check ya facts (my heart bleeds for you, baby)

losing respect from what you lack (my heart bleeds for you, baby)

watching society collapse


not gonna tell you what i think you should be

not gonna tell you what i think you should say

not gonna tell you where i think you should play

not gonna tell you who i think you should see

not gonna tell you how i think you should pray

not gonna tell you how i think you should deal

not gonna tell you how i think you should feel


i'm not going to relax (my heart bleeds for you, baby)

calm down, you betta check ya facts (my heart bleeds for you, baby)

losing respect from what you lack (my heart bleeds for you, baby)

watching society collapse (my heart bleeds for you, baby)


you don't have any control of me

exposing your lack of empathy

your train of thought, flyin' off the track

compassion slipping through the cracks


(my heart bleeds for you, baby)

this battle has only just begun (my heart bleeds for you, baby)

spewing like bullets from a gun (my heard bleeds for you, baby)

is this what our dreams have become?

progress we've made slowly come undone

your heart bleeds for me, baby
