bleed out
Drain of blood
To bleed out is to die from blood loss, typically from a severe wound.
The phrase emphasizes the gradual, often fatal process of hemorrhaging rather than the wound itself.
The medic applied pressure to keep him from bleeding out.
In figurative use, bleed out can describe resources or energy draining away completely: The company bled out its cash reserves trying to stay afloat.
