Bleed Your Hate Out [ft. Dragonfly]

from Abyss of Time by James Paddock

/

about

Humans are politically split more extremely than ever before. Just merely associating with some political ideologies carries with it connotations and stigmas that have been drilled into us through years and years of persistent conflict. We are so used to far extremes that we do not keep our minds open for any hope of resolution. But people CAN change.

Nowadays we are quick to pounce ruthlessly on our opposition for their mere ideals, and while certain dangerous ideologies should indeed be confronted with intolerance, there is also a lot to be said for approaching the subject of disagreement from a place of human compassion. It is highly common these days for individuals to be reprimanded not for who they are, but who they were in the past. Even as someone shows signs of admittance they were on the wrong side of the fence on a given issue, it is all too common for the hate mob to descend and decry them all the same – as if they are truly beyond the pale, that they should have been better to begin with. This is ultimately a lose-lose situation for all parties concerned.

The benefit of the doubt seems to have almost gone extinct at this point, but we can do a lot simply by making it clear that life is indeed better on the other side, and that above all, they are welcome.

lyrics

(What's wrong in your head?)
It's like a fuse just blew
There's such a darkness holding you
(The bullshit you're fed)
Led you to spiral down
But you fell in with the wrong crowd

See your way out
Bleed your hate out
(Let it out, let it all out)

I know the weight
Of the world's got you down
You're dying in your own skin
What will it take
To get you to come round?
The hate you're keeping bottled in
Let it out, let it all out

(How'd you descend this far?)
You teetered on a knife's edge
Fraternised with nihilists
(Thank God we caught your fall)
It's time you left it all
Your cult of evangelicals

Time to rise up
Take your disguise off
(Let it out, let it all out)

I know the weight
Of the world's got you down
You're dying in your own skin
What will it take
To get you to come round?
The hate you're keeping bottled in
(Let it out, let it all out!)

(Let it out, just let it out
Bleed it out, just bleed it out)

[Joshua O'Sullivan:]
Bleed it out!
Bleed it out, just bleed it out!

Leave the cadavres in the dust
And their regime to fall to rust
You've spent too long on the dark side
High time you swam with the tide

And it's all got you down
You're dying in your own skin
What will it take
To get you to come round?
The hate you're keeping bottled in, yeah
Let it out, let it all out
Yeah!
