Bleed from Womb by Kate Brunotts

Fertility can be harrowing and infuriating for the female experience. As soon as women becomes of age, they're thrust into a world that simaltaneously chooses to oversexualize and shame them for sensuality. The culture doesn't provide women agency over their own bodies. "Bleed" encapsulates the underlooked cry of female rage and the fight to use your body and life on your own terms, despite the oppressive structures that demand you fall in line. It is the second single off of my debut album, Womb, which holds a candle to the complex reality of being a woman in today's America.

Lyrics

I’m your cattle and you know it
Hide it just to show it
Off to you —
If you say
That’s okay

I’m your pacifier baby
Nurture like a lady
But if you leash me
I’ll still stay

Every time I bleed
Every time I bleed
Wanna run right back to you
Every time I bleed
Every time I bleed
Can I stay attached to you?

Every time I bleed
Every time I bleed
Wanna run right back to you
Can I stay attached to you?

This womb I have is swallowing me whole
Will I use it? It’s a dice roll
Dress me up, I’ll be your doll
You get to throw the cards out as they fall

As they fall

Every time I bleed
Every time I bleed
Wanna run right back to you
Every time I bleed
Every time I bleed
Can I stay attached to you?

Every time I bleed
Every time I bleed
Wanna run right back to you
Can I stay attached to you?
