Bleeding in Silence

Intro

Yeah...

I gave ‘em truth, they gave me silence

I held the line, they broke the alliance

Loyalty ain’t pretty, it’s scars and defiance

Ey...

Verse 1

I was ten toes, they were tiptoes

I kept it real, they played with shadows

I showed love, they showed me hollows

Now I move solo, no more follows

I bled for wolves dressed like sheep

Smiled while they sowed deceit

They toast with me, then plot beneath

I learned the game, now I play discreet

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need applause, I need peace

I don’t chase clout, I chase release

They want the crown, I want relief

I gave my all, they gave me grief

Chorus

Loyalty ain’t pretty, it’s pain in disguise

It’s holding your tongue while they weaponize lies

It’s standing alone when the real ones die

It’s bleeding in silence, still looking ‘em in the eye

Loyalty ain’t pretty, it’s cold and it’s deep

It’s secrets you carry, promises you keep

It’s knowing they’d fold if the pressure got steep

But you never did, even losing sleep

Verse 2

I don’t regret, but I remember

Every fake hug, every cold December

They lit the match, I held the ember

Now I burn slow, sharp like a tremor

I was the vault, they were the leak

I was the spine, they were the weak

I gave them strength, they gave critique

Now I speak less, but when I speak—peak

Bridge

I’m not bitter, I’m built

From every bruise, every guilt

From every “I got you” that wilt

I wear my silence like silk

Chorus

Loyalty ain’t pretty, it’s pain in disguise

It’s holding your tongue while they weaponize lies

It’s standing alone when the real ones die

It’s bleeding in silence, still looking ‘em in the eye

Loyalty ain’t pretty, it’s cold and it’s deep

It’s secrets you carry, promises you keep

It’s knowing they’d fold if the pressure got steep

But you never did, even losing sleep

Outro

So if I’m distant, it’s earned

If I’m quiet, it’s learned

I gave my soul, they watched it burn

Loyalty ain’t pretty... but I never turned
