A recorded reading of “Bleed Is to Bloom”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
I grew petals in my bruises, thorns from every lie. The soil fed by silence still taught me how to rise. They called me wild and wicked— but I would not weep or wilt. I stitched my name in forest bark and crowned my wounds with guilt. The garden does not ask for mercy. It doesn't mourn the red. It burns, it breaks, it blossoms— like I did when I bled.
Instructional lyrics
[Intro – 6 bars of nature ambience (wind, birdsong, deep drum heartbeat), soft layered vocal hums] [Verse 1 – harp plucks, minimal percussion, airy vocals] I grew petals in my bruises Thorns from every lie The soil fed by silence Still taught me how to rise The garden does not ask for mercy Nor apologize for red So why should I be sorry For the way I bled? [Pre-Chorus – light beat begins, layered harmonies swell] Every wound became a window Every tear became a seed I broke beneath the thunder But now I bloom and bleed [Chorus – full drop: primal drums, ethereal synths, bold layered vocals] To bleed is to bloom To crack is to sing The broken bone becomes the root The scar becomes the wing I don’t need saving I’m a storm in full perfume Don’t fear my thorns— To bleed is to bloom [Verse 2 – introduce flute melody, echoing harmonies] I carved my name into the bark Of every love I left A forest full of echoes Who still whisper with my breath They called me wild and wicked When I wouldn’t wilt or weep But I plant fire with my footsteps And dream while others sleep [Pre-Chorus – repeat with added harmonies] Every wound became a window Every tear became a seed I broke beneath the thunder But now I bloom and bleed [Chorus – repeat with more vocal energy, harmonies, and additional chants in background] To bleed is to bloom To crack is to sing The broken bone becomes the root The scar becomes the wing I don’t need saving I’m a storm in full perfume Don’t fear my thorns— To bleed is to bloom [Bridge – tribal chant with ambient pads and vocal layering] Bleed into blossoms Cry into crowns Fall into power Don’t let them drown Raise your roots like shields Let your hurt be truth There’s a warrior in the garden And her rage is youth [Final Chorus – most epic version, strings, choirs, full instrumentation] To bleed is to bloom To crack is to sing The broken bone becomes the root The scar becomes the wing I don’t need saving I’m a storm in full perfume Don’t fear my thorns— To bleed is to bloom [Outro – nature sounds, soft chanting of "bloom... bloom... bloom..."]
