Born to Bleed in Minor Key

Some of us don’t heal in major.

Black notes falling from the sky Every chord a quiet goodbye I don’t write songs in bright I was built for darker nights

Every love I ever tried Had a shadow by its side Every dream that came to stay Left in a lower shade

You call it tragic I call it real

I was born to bleed in minor key Where the truth don’t hide from me Where the pain still harmonizes With the man I’ve grown to be I don’t need the easy sound I don’t chase the safe rebound If it hurts, at least it’s free I was born to bleed in minor key

Minor key…

I’ve seen daylight fade too fast Heard forever turn to past Heaven’s nice, but it ain’t mine I feel more at home in the underline

She once said, “You love too hard.” I said, “I just love in scars.” Every note I hold too long Carries everything gone wrong

You want bright lines I want truth

I was born to bleed in minor key Where the silence speaks to me Where the dark don’t feel like prison It just feels like clarity I don’t dress my wounds in gold I don’t soften what I hold If it cuts, it sets me free I was born to bleed in minor key

Major chords never fit my skin. Too clean. Too polished.

Give me the note That aches.

I was born to bleed in minor key Every scar part of the melody I don’t run from dissonance It’s the only place I breathe No bright lie to comfort me No fake harmony If it breaks, it’s meant to be I was born to bleed in minor key

And I wouldn’t change the key.
