If You Call This Healing, Then I’ll Keep Bleeding in Style
Theatrical Pop-Rock with dark Vaudeville flair, funky basslines, syncopated guitars, funky trumpets, and dramatic dynamic shifts, Verses playful yet biting, dripping with sarcasm; choruses explosive, soaring, and hook-heavy, Rich vocal variety: clean melodic leads up front, layered harmonies, occasional whisper effects for tension, After Verse 2, intense build leads to a call/response breakdown: alternating low growls and high, piercing screams (4 alternating lines) to mimic an argument with inner demons, Breakdown blends staccato guitar chugs, brass stabs, and percussive hits for drama, Crisp, wide mix; bass warm and bouncy; highs sharp, Atmosphere: witty, chaotic, and emotionally charged with technical precision

Lyrics
“Alright— let’s make this pretty...”
I stitched a smile with broken thread,
Dancing on glass, but I’m well-dressed.
(woo!)
You call it growth, I call it survival—
Same circus act, just a cheaper revival.
They sell me hope in plastic jars,
Label it “progress,” ship it far...
I drink it down, it tastes like rust,
But I still toast, because I must.
If you call this healing, then I’ll bleed in style,
Fake it with a grin, just stay for a while.
Laugh at my pain, but the joke’s on you—
I turned my ruins into something new.
(hey! hey!)
I ironed my flaws like wrinkled lies,
Polished my panic till it shines.
(ha!)
They clap their hands, “oh what a show!”
But none of them care where the bruises go.
This spotlight burns, but I don’t mind,
It hides the cracks they’ll never find.
If misery loves company—
Then let’s sell tickets, two-for-three.
If you call this healing, then I’ll bleed in style,
Fake it with a grin, just stay for a while.
Laugh at my pain, but the joke’s on you—
I turned my ruins into something new.
(la-da-da, la-da-da—)
“You’re a fraud!”
“I’m alive!”
“You’re a curse!”
“But I’ll survive!”
(oh-oh-ohhh, let it burn!)
Kick the mask, let the curtain fall—
It was never healing at all.
If you call this healing, then I’ll bleed in style,
Fake it with a grin, just stay for a while.
Laugh at my pain, but the joke’s on you—
I turned my ruins into something true.
(woo!)
“Guess I’m the happiest wreck you’ve ever seen...”
